The Government regards unauthorised incursions by the British security forces into this jurisdiction as a serious matter. On each occasion on which my Department is notified of an incident, the matter is immediately raised with the British authorities through the British-Irish Secretariat in Belfast. This was the case with the Rassan incident, which has also been taken up again through the secretariat. A substantive response is still awaited from the British authorities.
