High levels of cross-border police cooperation will continue independent of the outcome of the Northern Ireland elections, the Garda Commissioner has said.

Drew Harris declined to comment on the need for a stable administration in the North but said he wanted to reassure people that the sharing of information, and evidence, was embedded between An Garda Síochána and the PSNI.
