<p>We continue a high level of cooperation on border security with Ireland; working
closely together to identify and tackle those who seek to abuse arrangements from
entering the Common Travel Area.</p><p>Schedule 3 to the Counter-Terrorism and Border
Security Act 2019 allows a Counter-Terrorism Police Officer to stop, question and,
when necessary, detain and search, individuals and goods travelling through UK ports
and the “border area” for the purpose of determining whether the person (or the goods)
appears to be someone who is, or has been, engaged in hostile activity.</p><p>In Northern
Ireland, a place is within the “border area” if it is no more than one mile from the
border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland or it is the first place
at which a train travelling from the Republic of Ireland stops to let passengers off.</p><p>Individuals
who seek to abuse the Common Travel Area arrangements are liable to be detained, and
if unlawfully entering the UK, removed.</p>
