Can the witnesses enlighten the committee any further on the correspondence between Revenue and the Department? There are approximately 20 e-mails, which have not been released under FOI, concerning the preparations being put in place to prepare for customs posts on the Border because of the potential for customs between the North and the South. The Department of Finance is not the only one; Revenue has also written to the Departments of Transport, Tourism and Sport and Foreign Affairs and Trade. Is this something about which the committee should be concerned? What type of resources is that drawing from the Department?
