asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the number of occasions during 1981 on which there were confirmed incursions by British armed forces into County Louth.
Written Answers. - British Army Incursions.
584.
I am aware of 24 incursions into County Louth by British and Northern Ireland security forces this year. Every reported incursion on which adequate information is available is pursued in an appropriate manner with the British authorities.
Anyone who observes incidents of this nature should inform the local Garda Síochána without delay or contact the Department of Foreign Affairs about the matter.
