In the past week, the New IRA has been linked to two attacks on the police in Northern Ireland, the first such attacks since April. What is the Government doing, in partnership with the authorities in the United Kingdom and in Northern Ireland, despite the impasse, to ensure that all efforts are made to allow for co-ordination between An Garda Síochána, the PSNI and all other State agencies and to ensure that dissident terrorist groups and all other organised crime groups are not allowed to continue their reigns of terror on a cross-Border and cross-national basis?

I thank the Deputy for reminding us once again that paramilitarism in Ireland is far from dead. I very much condemn the events in Strabane in recent weeks. There is very good co-operation between the security authorities here and those in Northern Ireland and in Britain. We want to enhance that in any way we can. Obviously, much of this relates to security, much of it is confidential and much I do not know about, but I do know that the co-operation is very good and that will continue.
