Written answers

I have been informed by the Garda authorities that information is routinely shared between the Garda Síochána and the Police Service of Northern Ireland on such matters as those referred to by the Deputy. I am further informed that, depending on the urgency, nature and purpose of the information, the transfer of information occurs speedily, involving, for example, police-to-police transfer between the Garda National Criminal Intelligence Unit and the PSNI's force intelligence bureau, transmission via Interpol Dublin to Interpol London; and transfer between the Garda Communications Centre and the PSNI. I understand that the two police services have an excellent relationship and co-operate with each other on a daily basis.
