Assistant Commissioner Angela Willis, Organised and Serious Crime, has highlighted:
"An Garda Síochána, fully recognising the international nature of transnational organised crime, continues to work closely and effectively with National and International Partners including a close working relationship with the National Crime Agency in the UK. An Garda Síochána, through the bureaus within Organised and Serious Crime, including the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau, will continue to carry out interdictions in this jurisdiction to disrupt, degrade and dismantle transnational criminal organisations and their criminal activity which impacts not just on communities in Ireland, but across the UK and Europe.”
