Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Garda Reform and Related Issues: Discussion
Mr. Drew Harris:
Technology is advancing and given the financial resources being brought to bear by some of these crime gangs, they take advantage of that. As the Deputy noted, it is not just about a national response. It requires a European and international response in terms of law enforcement and what it might do. I feel a bit inhibited because if I talk any more about it, it will get me into operational, tactical stuff but I assure the Deputy that this is a live issue that is of ongoing concern. This also needs to ingenuity in terms of what our response should be. Sometimes traditional policing methods unpick some of this technology as well.
