Mr. John McGrane:

I do not have sufficient detail to respond immediately, but we will make inquiries. We are hearing about heightened activity by Revenue. We welcome the vital extension of the warehousing scheme for a further 12 months, without which we would definitely have been seeing a deluge of insolvencies.

On some broader business issues, we have not mentioned the "B" word yet, but Brexit is still a factor for many importing and exporting businesses in competitive situations. There are logistics issues. We have been lulled into a sense of calm about the matter, primarily because Britain has not yet enforced its own Brexit inbound barriers and so forth. This calm belies the fact that there is still a great deal of disruption, particularly groupage issues for SMEs that do not own their own trucks. While we will not deflect from the immediate concerns that are being voiced volubly at this meeting, Brexit has not gone away. The committee might keep that in mind in its vital work.
