Mr. Niall Cody:

Our original budget was €2 million. According to the reply I have seen to a parliamentary question, so far we have invested €2.2 million in the customs element of our IT framework. We will have to spend more in the coming years. The European Union's customs code introduced in 2016 provides for IT expenditure for ten years in all countries, regardless of Brexit. Our investment in the customs element must look at scale because of Brexit, but we would have had to introduce new systems in any event.
