Flanagan: We must avoid potential post-Brexit 'political turbulence'

Minister Flanagan said he shared concerns expressed by Garda Commissioner on the need to ensure the continuing exchange of information with the PSNI

Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan said the avoidance of “political turbulence” that might give rise to security threats was uppermost in his mind as plans for a chaotic Brexit ratchet up.

He said he shared concerns expressed by Garda Commissioner on the need to ensure the continuing exchange of information with the PSNI and for an extradition alternative to the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) being in place when Britain leaves the EU on October 31.
