201. Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if the gardaí are receiving adequate co-operation from all other European and non-European police forces in the fight against drugs. [35939/05]

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell): I refer the Deputy to my detailed reply to Question No. 150 of 20 October 2005. I understand that the Garda authorities are satisfied with the levels of international co-operation received in the fight against drugs. International co-operation has yielded tangible results, as exemplified by a number of recent successes, one of which was highlighted as recently as last week and was the subject of much publicity in the media.
