We developed our knowledge of the IFA when its representatives came before us a short time ago, and it has a cross-Border working relationship with the Ulster Farmers Union. Do the witnesses have a corresponding relationship with Ulster farmers or another organisation North of the Border? I ask this in the context of greater cross-Border and cross-community encouragement. There is evidence of trafficking of stolen goods South of the Border going North of the Border and it could well be the other way about also, although I am not aware of it. It is far from being anecdotal evidence. The South to North traffic is certainly documented, and there was a recent significant find North of the Border. I quite rightly commended both police services on the co-operative nature of their work and the fact that they are having successes. Does the ICSA have a similar relationship North of the Border where it can reflect on these matters?
