At present, although I would imagine this will become more relevant if the pact does come in towards 2026, what legal powers does the Garda have in terms of enforcement at the shared border between North and South? I am concerned about profiling and requests to produce passports. What are the legal powers at present and does the Department envision a scenario whereby legislation will be passed to give greater enforcement powers to the Garda at our shared border North and South?
