Taking up the point about the shadow economy, at last week's meeting one of the members pointed out that a delegation from the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly had visited some of these fuel laundering plants. It seems their location is well known to people and there was a general awareness of cross-Border activity in this regard. If what is going on is so well known that the delegation mentioned could visit the plants in question, what is the problem with Revenue doing the same?
