We cannot discuss the likes of this issue on the Order of Business.

I got permission from the owner of the premises to highlight this issue.

It does not matter whether the Senator has permission. There are no convictions.

If one had lost 10,000 cigarettes-----

We are not discussing this issue. Does the Senator have a question for the Leader?

I want a debate on this issue. Nine people arrived in a people carrier. They had already sussed out the premises.

Does the Senator have a question for the Leader?

I want the Minister for Justice and Equality to come to the House to explain what is developing, whereby law and order are breaking down. Gardaí will not answer their private phones or use their private cars as and from today. That is a serious matter.

That is scaremongering.

I am highlighting that people are very vulnerable, for example, when a shop can literally be robbed of certain equipment at 7.30 p.m. The Garda was called ten minutes later and gardaí appeared immediately. Rural Ireland is under assault from criminals, yet we are in dispute with the Garda Síochána.

Very good.
