Mr. Colin Connolly:

The co-operation between the Garda and the PSNI is now obvious. Part of my function with the IFA is to liaise with the Garda in respect of these matters. Having worked in An Garda Síochána, I understand the way this needs to work. It says a lot that the Theft Stop initiative originated in County Donegal as a cross-Border initiative. At the moment, the Garda is fully engaged with this system and the PSNI is very aware of it. We can ensure the system works by transcending the Border, bringing it across and getting the North engaged in it.
