The background to this is that the UK made the interesting decision to decide not to continue to host CEPOL. A tendering process ensued and Ireland did tender for it, on which the Garda Síochána is to be commended. It would have been good if we had been successful in the tender but we were not on this occasion. No doubt if it comes up for renewal or if it comes on the agenda again, depending on what happens in Budapest, because that is a temporary decision, An Garda Síochána will continue to monitor the situation.
