The heads of the Garda and the Police Service of Northern Ireland will today outline their vision of the future of crime-fighting.
Garda commissioner Noel Conroy and PSNI chief constable Hugh Orde will speak at a conference on policing in the 21st century at a time when co-operation between the two forces has reached unprecedented levels.
Gardaí and the PSNI were involved in yesterday's massive cross-Border raids investigating oil laundering.
The conference at the Waterford Institute of Technology will also be addressed by Breda Allen, chairwoman of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre.
