The Minister of State is welcome back to the House. On behalf of the Fianna Fáil group, I am delighted to support these three motions which have been clearly outlined by the Minister of State and Senator Ward. It is essential we have the highest possible level of co-operation with our nearest neighbour and with our EU colleagues when it comes to crime prevention, investigation and, perhaps most important as Senator Ward said, prosecution. We are delighted to support these motions and look forward to their being incorporated into law in order that the highest possible level of co-operation with our closest neighbours in the UK and with fellow EU member states will take effect.
