Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire.
Minister, there has been some speculation that a person is to be appointed to engage with those illegal groups. Can you confirm or deny that? Obviously, there are those of us who are concerned that, given that a lot of years have passed since the Good Friday Agreement, that would risk legitimising illegal paramilitary groups rather than rectifying the behaviour of those who are engaged in paramilitary activity such as drug dealing and other nefarious activities.
