I welcome yesterday's announcement that Garda recruitment will take place in the coming months. It is another step in the right direction. I commend the action taken by the Garda in west Clare in recent days to deal with money laundering and money lending. It is a significant step in the right direction as we try to deal with those who abuse vulnerable people who are in debt and facing financial difficulties. I believe this is one of a few cases in this country relating to illegal money lending. I commend the Garda in County Clare on their actions in this regard.
