Mr. Niall Cody:
I do not disagree with the Deputy at all. There are challenges. Commissioner Harrahill is involved in it to the nth degree. I have seen examples of cases where the agent, particularly if the agent is not based in Ireland, is gone at 5 p.m. on Friday. The ferry may arrive in at 7 p.m. and there could be a problem.
