I confirm that I am on the campus. I welcome the witnesses and thank them for their attendance. It is good to engage with them again.

I will touch on three topics: customs and excise; Brexit; and suspicious transaction reports. Starting with customs, Mr. Cody stated that there had been significant seizures of drugs and cigarettes in 2020 and 2021 and that Revenue was continuing its co-operation with the Garda and international organisations. Does he have a breakdown of the number of seizures of drugs and cigarettes across 2019 to 2021, be that at ports or elsewhere? I will ask a further question on this.
