Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister of State for spending so much time debating the Bill and replying to questions. The fact that the Bill has been put through so easily is a sign of the support for co-operation between the police forces, North and South. The benefits that will be gained, including the sharing of information and the joint tackling of crime, will be of enormous benefit to both jurisdictions. It is a new beginning of which I am very proud to have been part. I hope the measure will work well and will be put in place quickly.
