I turn to my final question and again I wish to make it clear this is not to criticise. An issue that arose in the most recent appalling murder was that somebody from another jurisdiction - the North - was before the courts on the charge of being in possession of a gun and that person was granted bail in the South under due process. I appreciate the Commissioner cannot comment on individual issues, and in accepting the comments she made with regard to co-operation North and South, are the Garda and the PSNI always informed when people have been charged with serious crimes in either jurisdiction? In particular where guns and illegal organisations are involved, is there a full exchange of information?
