Criminal Justice (Joint Investigation Teams) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
This is not an appropriate time to talk about resources. That is a debate for another day but it might be a good idea to provide for such an exercise by way of a separate subhead in the Vote in order that ordinary policing is not distorted when an enormous international investigation takes place. Implicit in all this is the ability to share and move information. The development of IT systems for the Garda must be compatible with that for other police forces. I am deeply concerned about the provision of appropriate protocols to minimise the possibility of matters going wrong in covert investigations.
