I am not going to apologise for trying to get important measures that are of benefit to the public enacted as quickly as possible.
I think we need to see evidence. I'm not prepared to make really important decisions or proposals on important decisions without seeing the hard evidence.
It is a central priority for me that Ireland’s immigration system is robust and rules based.
There's great cooperation between the Gardaí and the northern authorities, and I believe that there's going to be greater operational cooperation and greater enforcement in terms of ensuring that the Common Travel Area is protected.
