Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Community Policing and Rural Crime: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Barry Carey:

There is a scheme between An Garda Síochána and the PSNI, which involves members of the IFA and communities in the Border areas coming together and texting alerts. I am told there is a pilot scheme between rural and urban Border communities to alert them of crime, for example, cattle rustling or vehicle thefts in the area. Apparently, it is working and it may roll out across other areas. It is a small project now but it is being looked at.
