Brexit - Recent Developments and Future Negotiations: Discussion (Resumed)

10:00 am

Mr. Niall Cody:

In the customs division. There is Brexit-related work in other divisions but there is no Brexit unit in VAT, for example, because the customs team will be to the forefront and the changes that will happen will be driven first on the customs front. As the Chairman implies, if a percentage of staff go to meetings or talk to Mr. Colgan's team, they will not go to meetings about something else. There are probably another ten or 11 equivalents around the organisation feeding into this.
