We have excellent bilateral cooperation with Member States across the EU – including Ireland - on a wide range of law enforcement and criminal justice issues and we will continue to consider ways to strengthen this. The Government takes a pragmatic and proactive approach to ensuring effective law enforcement and criminal justice cooperation between Northern Ireland and Ireland and this will continue. Ireland is, and will remain, a vital partner for the UK. As the Committee’s report notes, the law enforcement and criminal justice provisions in the TCA also provide an additional basis for bilateral cooperation to continue between the UK and EU Member States. This includes information sharing in response to requests, as well as on a spontaneous basis, such as information on wanted and missing persons and objects. We will continue to build on the strong existing relationships with our colleagues in Ireland when considering ways to tackle crime and keep our citizens safe.
