Mr. Niall Cody:
In terms of the discussion that took place at the committee last week, it is not as simple as delegation from the parliamentary committee being brought into a yard and told it is a fuel laundering plant from which 15 trucks go out every week. That does not happen. If fuel is being moved around the country roads in the Border area, or any part of the country, monitoring that is not a straightforward process. Keeping trucks under surveillance would require significant resources, skills and manpower. I do not want to get into all the stuff we do, but we are serious about combating this. It is, however, a difficult challenge.
