Customs Checks Post Brexit: Discussion

Ms Celine O'Neill:

I will keep it brief. To address the point Mr. Drennan raised about the system introduced yesterday at, I believe, the Port of Antwerp, it is possible for those things to happen at Antwerp and Rotterdam because there are port community systems in operation there that are not in operation at Dublin Port. We have already engaged with the Dublin Port Company on the possibility of introducing something similar in Ireland. Those systems allow the involvement of multiple stakeholders. It is clear from all the interventions today that there are many different stakeholders each responsible for different aspects of the movement and each entitled to different pieces of information that we cannot share outside of who is entitled to receive it. These systems allow the stakeholders to see the information they are entitled to see without confidentiality being breached or data protection issues arising. It is something we are actively pursuing to see if we can introduce it in Ireland.
