Government to ensure data exchange between gardaí and PSNI continues in event of 'crash out' Brexit

The Government is to introduce legal measures to ensure that the high level of data exchange between gardaí and the PSNI – which reached almost 70,000 pieces of information last year – will continue if there is a “crash out” Brexit.

The continuation of the sharing of information and intelligence was “one of the biggest asks” of Garda HQ to the Government in relation to contingency plans for a no deal Brexit on March 29.
