<p>The Government works closely with Ireland on matters of border security. This work
is intrinsically linked to the Common Travel Area (CTA), a special border-free zone
encompassing the UK, Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.</p><p>To protect
this arrangement there is a high level of collaboration between the UK and Ireland
to strengthen the external border of the CTA. A joint programme of work includes the
sharing of information and increased understanding of respective border arrangements,
increased sharing and use of data to inform immigration and border security decisions,
and the alignment of border policies and processes.</p>
