Mr. Drew Harris:

There has been no policy change but we, as an organisation, are conscious of organised crime and the movement of individuals under coercion as human trafficking or as part of facilitating organised crime in terms of paid movement of individuals.

We have been concentrating on the movement of individuals as part of our responsibilities in respect of immigration. We have a unit based in Dundalk that performs occasional mobile patrols on the M1 and has made detections of immigration-type offences there. To August of this year, I am told, 128 detections have been made. That is part of our ongoing responsibilities and is far overshadowed by the detections that have been made at Dublin Port and Dublin Airport, as well as the Port of Cork and Cork Airport. There is not a concentration of enforcement activity in respect of the common travel area and the Border. This is just part of our ongoing efforts in respect of immigration crime.
