In terms of Europol and international police service co-operation, I presume police forces talk to each other about such matters. Is there an agreed approach? We want to strike a balance. We do not want to allow people to have some of the weapons which we would prefer to be very restricted, for example, to gun clubs under top security, not in people’s homes or cars. What advice is available internationally? Is there a legislative template which Mr. Healy believes would be a good one on which to base the licensing system?
