Cross Border Co-operation: Republic of Ireland

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what recent assessment she has made of the level of co-operation between the security forces in Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic.

Answer

There continues to be very close contact between the PSNI and An Garda Siochana to tackle the threat faced from dissident republican activity on both sides of the border. Every opportunity will be taken to consider ways to improve cross border working relationships and deepen the collective understanding of the threat, building on the excellent co-operation that exists.
