Mr. Harrahill, the point is that there are relatively low volumes going through at present. When the peak volumes kick in when supplies are used up, will the system be robust enough, apart from the cumbersome nature which I hope will be addressed in the meetings between the Revenue Commissioners with both the Irish Road Haulage Association and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine early next week?

Will the system be able to take the volumes of declarations that will be going through it? Has Revenue road tested that in a simulated way for the volumes that will go through? Mr. Harrahill referred to the number increasing from 2 million to 20 million. Is that correct?
