EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2021-09-21
============================================================

Robbie Gallagher (FF), Labour Panel

The Minister of State is welcome to the Chamber. Fianna Fáil very much supports the motion, which allows for the continuation of the supply of Prüm data to the UK. Serious crime does not recognise any borders and we need the co-operation of all member states and indeed those outside the EU, such as the UK in this instance, to fight crime in all its forms across all borders. For that reason, I fully support the motion and am confident that other Members will do likewise. It is just another example of the fallout from Brexit and the UK leaving the EU, which is disappointing across many facets. Where we can have co-operation, we must have co-operation and this is an example of where we can co-operate. For that reason, I am happy to support the motion.
