Ceist:

390 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the discussions, if any, he has had with the Department of Defence with respect to holding joint exercises between the Garda Síochána and the Army. [23000/98]

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. O'Donoghue)

I am not aware of any discussions being held in respect of joint exercises other than the regular ongoing co-operation which exists between the Garda Síochána and the Defence Forces at an operational level as and when required.
