I appreciate that is the stated position of the Government. I have a further question in respect of the contingency plans the Revenue is drawing up. Some years back a campaign resulted in several Border roads being reopened. This is relevant for my county of Donegal. There are numerous roads, including main roads and national roads as well as secondary and local roads, that transcend the Border. Does the contingency plan include numerous locations being identified in the relevant counties? Is it the case that only the key arterial routes, like the Lifford to Strabane road, the Bridgend to Derry road or the Beleek to Pettigo road, are being targeted? I appreciate that this is contingency planning, but is that the type of contingency planning the Revenue is considering in spots?
