Mr. Drew Harris:

It will depend on the threats that arise. An Garda Síochána is a community-based policing organisation. We are coping with threats that have arisen, as we have done in the past. Organised crime is one such threat. As tariffs start to diverge, there will be opportunities to smuggle counterfeit goods. That will require a response. The threat of terrorism could also arise. We will have to see. We do not know what kind of Brexit we are going to get. We do not know what the severity of the issues that may arise will be. If we look at the situation at the moment, we will see the amount of criminality we have in any case. I refer to the number of ATM robberies that are taking place, the amount of smuggling that is going on and the amount of other crime that such activity is funding. It is prudent for us to make sure the Border area is well resourced. We are doing that. We are moving resources there. We have made undertakings around roads policing, armed support units and the general strengths of that area.
