Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality

The Deputy will appreciate that I remain hopeful that the threatened withdrawal of service and labour by members of An Garda Síochána does not go ahead tomorrow. In any case, as part of the contingency planning that is being put in place the intention is that Garda immigration units will continue to operate.
