Recent Border Incursion
Leonard asked whether a reported incursion during customs officials’ duties was more serious than earlier incidents blamed on mistaken Border markings. The Minister sought clarification, and the Chair said the relevant questions would appear the following Tuesday.
Is the Minister aware that heretofore when we had incursions the excuse was that they mistook the Border markings? Recently they came across brazenly where customs officials were in the course of doing their duty. Is that not very serious as compared to heretofore when the security forces and their officers said they mistook the markings, that they were indistinct, or that they were not aware of the Border area?
Comment on this
I am not sure what the Deputy is referring to. Is he referring to the one in the question put down by Deputy O'Hanlon for next week?
