Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners
Mr. Niall Cody:
No. I remember reading in the newspaper one Saturday morning that Revenue had been instructed. I thought to myself that there must be somebody in Revenue more important than me because nobody had instructed me. Every so often I read about political instruction but I have never experienced it. We looked at things in the context of how to meet our requirements to facilitate the free flow of commerce. We do not operate in such as a way that we could have secret plans and secret expenditure, to return to that idea. We are subject to scrutiny here and are subject to the budget and to the Estimates process. This committee will have to sign off on our Estimates. The Minister will be here.
