I join in welcoming the elected members and executive members of the councils represented. I agree with the Acting Chairman's proposal that we spend most of this session listening to people who are the voice of the ordinary person who will be affected by this. Perhaps someone will address a particular question I have. My question is in the context of the Border and is particularly for people in the Border corridor. Will we be looking at a resumption of smuggling? I would like some views on that matter. I am from County Mayo and as we unfortunately have experienced petrol stretching and diesel laundering, I am interested in the impact there might be there.
