The relationship between An Garda Síochána and the PSNI has never worked more effectively. The Deputy knows they have had a number of joint operations in recent times targeting criminals who would exploit the situation. The European arrest warrant will be a very high priority for us in the upcoming negotiations. We do not want to return to using extradition. I have had discussions with the Home Secretary on the matter. The UK approach to these issues is not yet clear. I spoke on this matter in the House last week. The sooner we can get clarity on the European arrest warrant, the better. It will be a key priority for us in the negotiations.
