Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Andrew MacKay (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 24 March 2010 on behalf of the Northern Ireland Office.


Security Situation

Question
Will the Secretary of State confirm that there is no hiding place for violent republican dissidents across the border, and that co-operation has never been better, particularly under the new Garda commissioner?
Answer

I put on record that the levels of co-operation in both Northern Ireland and the Republic have never been greater or better. That is true of every aspect of dealing with and preventing crime, none more so than those areas of crimes associated with paramilitary activity, and especially the investigations that are taking place into the recent murders of soldiers and a police constable.
