Like Deputy Brendan Smith, I am well aware of the issues at the Border. This type of behaviour is totally unacceptable and puts fear into the heart of everybody. The Deputy mentioned Mr. Paul Quinn. I drove past an area not far from where he was tortured not too long ago and somebody pointed out to me the spot at which Mr. Quinn had been killed. It puts the hair standing on the back of one's neck thinking what happens to people and what happened to Mr. Kevin Lunney. So bad was it, it is hard to describe, or even to think about, what they did to him. It was horrific. Every effort is being made to ensure the criminals are brought to justice.

The issue of a statutory body was raised again by Deputy Micheál Martin. I will raise the matter with the Minister for Justice and Equality, but there is a very good cross-Border task force in place. I must say the PSNI and An Garda Síochána are working together and that all necessary resources are being put into investigating the case to bring the criminals to justice, ensure it will not happen again and stamp out this type of behaviour on the Border.
