Commissioner Callinan highlighted the importance of the use of modern policing strategies:

In conclusion, he stated:
"The important and pioneering work carried out by CAB continues to lead the way in the dismantling of criminal networks, and the recouping of money for the Central Exchequer. This work cannot be completed without the continued excellent support of the members of the public working together with members of An Garda Síochána. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them, and to assure them that An Garda Síochána will continue to provide an effective and successul national police force in the current difficult cirumstances.”
