Answer
Following the temporary cessation of some portal inspection activities DAERA updated the ports on the security situation but did not provide them with advice.
DAERA is responsible for the safety of its own staff and has worked closely with PSNI and other operational partners to assess security risks and implement plans to enhance staff security and mitigate any potential risk.
