Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

My Department does not have a unit that deals exclusively with North-South issues. Work in relation to North-South co-operation, which arises primarily in the context of criminal justice co-operation, is carried out across a range of Divisions in my Department depending on the nature of the work involved.
