What is Mr. Ahern's view on criminality and border criminality? There is a view that much of the criminality that has taken place since the Good Friday Agreement has been given a kind of blind eye. It was part of the agreement back then, although it was not in writing, that there was an arrangement between the Governments whereby a blind eye was turned to some of the criminality that happened and continues to happen along the Border. What is Mr. Ahern's view on that? Was that the case? Moreover, how do we deal with it because it is a particular scourge?
