Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

We are regularly in contact with officials, both in the Department of Justice and Equality and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and in the Northern Ireland Office. As recently as two weeks ago, we had an organised crime cross-Border conference involving our Minister, the Minister for Justice, Ms Claire Sugden MLA, from Northern Ireland, me, the Chief Constable and a number of practitioners, not only from policing services but also from, for example, customs services and other agencies. The focus on continuing those fruitful relationships that have developed, and I thank the Senator for recognising them, and our joint resolve and commitment to do that along with my colleague, Mr. George Hamilton, in Northern Ireland and with colleagues in the UK remain resolute.
