Could I ask the Minister to be a bit more precise? He says, and this is the phrase that is used repeatedly, that concerns were raised. What concerns were raised? Was concern raised that the Irish Government did not know that the police officers were operating in this State or was concern raised that the Pitchford inquiry does not include Ireland? It is really important that we know what concerns were raised. I agree that it is a matter for the Home Secretary unless it is the case that the Irish Government did not know that they were operating here. The Taoiseach suggested that the Minster would be raising this at the meeting. Will the Minister give more details about exactly what concerns he raised?
