Criminal Justice (Joint Investigation Teams) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
We had a discussion not so long ago on the Garda Síochána (Police Co-Operation) Bill which implements the cross-Border aspects of the Patten report. The Bill, for which there was broad support in the House for the measures contained in it, facilitates personnel exchanges between the two police forces and a pooling of investigative teams after major incidents with a cross-Border dimension. It also allows PSNI members to apply for senior positions within the Garda Síochána and the converse. It is part of the ongoing co-operation taking place, an arrangement, I am sure, it will enhance.
