Mr. Niall Cody:
When Mr. Harrahill was talking, I got a chance to look at the figures. The value of customs duties collected up to the end of November this year is €458 million. For the equivalent period last year, the corresponding figure was €248 million. There has therefore been an 85% increase in the value of customs duties. Obviously, many of the customs entries had no customs duties payable.
