There are considerable issues nowadays with coal briquettes. We are told by the coal merchants that tonnes of them are coming in across the Border and being distributed directly to households. Revenue was supposed to have inspectors there to police that. I will go back to Deputy Doherty's question. How in the name of God will you police a fella bringing a load of blocks or cement for a house across the Border? Is the answer that you will not police him and instead rely on the honesty of the individual to pay the tax? Is that it?
