Following on from Senator McDowell's comment about the UK and what might happen down the road in that regard, it looks as though all we can do is jump the fences as we meet them, and the first fence is bringing in legislation, which we all fully agree with. What happens thereafter is out of our control in many ways, and this could drag on. In the interim, people are crossing over the Border, and a media report today referred to 100 gardaí being redeployed to Northern Ireland. Where are these gardaí coming from? Which units are they coming from and will that leave a void in those units?
