Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We are not planning to have the same infrastructure in place at or near the Border as in Dublin Port. That is exactly what we are trying to avoid at the moment. On recruitment and the resources sought by the Revenue Commissioners to deal with the new customs procedures to be put in place, I have made those resources available. I gave an overview on Tuesday evening of the different sections of the Bill I am responsible for. As I stated some weeks ago in committee to Deputy Burton and other Deputies, if the Revenue Commissioners need additional resources beyond what I have made available to them, then I am very willing to engage on that. Deputy Burton made a valid point. This is the creation of a significant amount of new activity. I refer to the work of customs agents in particular. That work is going to be important in the days ahead and it is the kind of work that has not happened in our economy on this scale for decades.
