Vehicle Registration Data Exchange with the United Kingdom: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2026-04-23
============================================================

Robbie Gallagher (FF), Labour Panel

I too welcome the visitors to the Gallery. I hope they enjoy their day in Leinster House. I welcome the Minister back to the House on this very important motion, which I am very happy to support on behalf of the Fianna Fáil grouping. It is vitally important we have the maximum co-operation with our nearest neighbour, the UK, in our fight against crime. Fortunately, relationships between our Government and the UK Government seem to be on a much better footing than when the Brexit vote took place, which is a positive. There is no need for me to elaborate any further. The co-operation is vital. The fight against crime is a common fight we share and in order to tackle that we need maximum co-operation between both jurisdictions. I am wondering whether this is an annual thing we have to come back each year to keep going or whether it is open-ended.
