Ms Josephine Feehily:
It has not been affected. We have increased the number of dog teams, particularly in the context of currency. Under a reasonably recent EU rule, it is necessary to declare cash in excess of €10,000. We dealt with that principally by deploying currency dogs at the airport. If one is investigated by a customs dog while sitting at the departures side of the airport, it is likely that the dog will be checking for cash, but it could be drugs.
