I wish to ask Mr. Irwin about the role of Revenue and a customs border. If the UK leaves the customs union, which seems certain at this stage, there will be a customs border – there will be some form of interface, and how seamless and frictionless it will be is a matter for negotiation. Could he tell us about the work Revenue is doing with its counterparts in the UK to ensure the Border is as invisible as possible?
