Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Control of Exports Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment

Dr. Eamonn Cahill:

I am not aware that it was. Actually, I think there is a slight typographical error in that the text should read "trans-shipment" rather than "transmission". It should refer to both transit and trans-shipment. It was primarily a question of the major trans-shipment hubs in Europe that would be relevant to Ireland. Ireland is not a trans-shipment base in the way that certain central European cities and ports are. I am not aware that there has been a loophole or that there have been any practical implications for us over the past 12 years. Nonetheless, in terms of completeness and so forth, we are conscientious about making sure we do a thorough job and cover all the elements in the new legislation.
