I support opting in. It is important we recognise there are threats to citizens within the European Union. They do not only come from terrorism but also from organised crime. Increased co-operation between member states is necessary, particularly as a result of Brexit. Many member states have significant experience of terrorism and the damage it can cause, including this country. We cannot hide away from the fact that threats exist. The fund is €2.5 billion and €1.5 billion will go to member states. Each member state will get €5 million at the outset and a sum will then be calculated based on the domestic product, population and territory of each country. How much will Ireland get from that €1.5 billion?
