Mr. Kennedy reflected in his opening address that there had been a significant recovery of goods North of the Border which had been stolen South of the Border. There was a further incident of that in the past fortnight. Stolen goods, including farm equipment and other trade equipment, are trafficked. One would expect texting to be complementary to the respective police services' awareness and their ability to intervene to either prevent or apprehend, as the case might be. This is very important because trafficking of goods is a particular crime focused on the Border counties and communities. Would Mr. Carey like to comment?
