Mr. David McArdle:

To add to that, on transit into Ireland, it is moving and it is not too bad, but the problem is that the import safety and security declaration, which is the ENS, is on an override at the moment. We put in a specific code and that overrides it and we do not need it, but that will be turned back on. It is cumbersome and it needs to be built in to the goods clearance itself. As a transport company we have to get extra software to be able to do the safety and security process. The ferry companies were supposed to do it, but they have somehow managed to get out of doing it and it was put on to the transport companies. Transport companies do not have the software, as only specific agents have it and when the system is turned back on transport companies will have to spend several hundred euro and to provide staff to tick a box when it should be put in along with the customs clearance in the first place.
