I welcome the Minister of State. From a Fianna Fáil perspective, this debate is very much welcomed. We are very happy to support the motion as outlined. It is heartening to see such positive cooperation between the EU states. It is important, as we try to prevent, detect, investigate and prosecute those involved in terrorist offences and serious crime. It is a positive thing that we have this co-operation.

Prior to Brexit, I would imagine the UK also was part of this EU agreement. What now is the protocol in relation to co-operation of a similar nature with the UK authorities? Do we have the necessary agreements in place with them? That aside, I am happy to support this motion on behalf of my party
