I have only one question following this one. One week ago, not nine months ago, a Revenue official gave evidence to this committee regarding trade facilitation posts which would be between 10 km and 15 km from the Border to which 6% of haulage would or could be diverted. There would be documentation checks and also possible physical checks, along with possible random patrols along the Border to divert people to these posts. That evidence was given a week ago. Has the thinking of the Revenue dramatically changed in the past seven days in this regard or are these type of facilities still being considered in terms of contingency planning?
