Sure. There was a question earlier about customs being a European competence, which was significant. I will pose this question very simply.

If after the end of March, for example, there is a crash-out Brexit and if the European Commission says there has to be some form of border checks on the island of Ireland, is it legally the responsibility of Revenue to implement them, given that customs is a European competence?
