Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what discussions she has had with the Irish government on cross-border efforts to stop organised crime.

In accordance with the Fresh Start Agreement, in December I attended a trilateral cross-border ministerial meeting with the Northern Ireland Executive and the Irish Government.
We agreed new measures to enhance law enforcement cooperation on organised crime and a Joint Agency Taskforce has been established.
