Garda Síochána (Police Co-Operation) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
While the Bill refers to the financial implications, there is no reference to the possibility of comparability claims. As a result of the difficult circumstances in which it operated during the Troubles, significant enhanced payments were made to the RUC. I understand that, to some extent, that continues to be the case with the PSNI. We should ensure that there are no knock-on effects in that regard. Perhaps the Minister would comment on that matter.
