It is a significant issue given that we are an island. Dublin Port's infrastructure is very congested and has been for two years. Come January and Brexit, we are going to face significant issues. The manager of Dublin Port admitted this week that the infrastructure is in the wrong place. Can Mr. Cody tell me the percentage of inspections Revenue purports to do post-Brexit? For instance, Mr. Cody said the current percentage is 1% to 2%. In light of a twelvefold increase in traffic given the land bridge may be diverting, what percentage of inspections does Revenue purport to do? A five-minute inspection per vehicle would lead to logjam in the city, probably for a whole day.
