Mr. Gerry Harrahill:
Mr. Cody has been referring to expenditure on ICT systems and infrastructure. The other piece that involved the organisation involved all the engagement with business. In 2019, the year before Brexit kicked in, we would have had seminars hosted right across the country that involved approximately 2,000 businesses. We would have engaged directly with 100,000-plus businesses. We would have been instrumental in getting businesses to register for customs. The figure was about 25,000 businesses, so there was a very high level of interaction and engagement.
