European Union Regulation: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2022-04-06
============================================================

Tom Clonan (IND), University of Dublin

Thank you. I will be brief. I thank the Minister for the clear opening statement. My understanding is that, notwithstanding events in Ukraine, the greatest threat to the security of the State is the proliferation of organised crime gangs and the terrorist networks with which they operate hand in hand. They operate globally and they are very sophisticated in their activities. Anything that assists us to respond to that as a republic and EU member state is very much to be welcomed.
I am grateful for the opportunity to speak and thank the Minister for the presentation. I am strongly in favour of the proposal.
