Customs drugs squad staffing at land frontiers
Harte asked whether customs had a drugs squad and how many members worked at the Republic–Northern Ireland land frontier. MacSharry did not have the figures but undertook to check and communicate any available information to him.
Can the Minister say if there is a drugs squad within the customs force and if there are, how many of them are working on land frontiers between the Republic and Northern Ireland?

I do not have that information. It is a separate question and if the Deputy puts down a question about it I will reply to it. This question is in relation to training of customs officers.

Will the Minister make the information available to me or circulate it with the Official Report?

I will see if that information is available and communicate it directly to the Deputy.
