Mr. David McArdle:

I will start and Mr. Nolan can follow. I thank Senator O'Reilly for the welcome. Our families go back a long time and are well known to each other.

On the agencies being disjointed, we suggest they should all be together rather than being in different terminals throughout the port. We find people are sent to terminal 11, then sent to terminal 7, then sent back to terminal 11 and then sent to terminal 10. All of these terminals have different agencies within them. One could spend hours moving within the port, just completing different pieces of paperwork.

A full inspection of agricultural goods is carried out at terminal 10. Mr. Nolan has first-hand experience of this issue.
