The Minister may recall that I table questions on a regular basis regarding the need to ensure the statutory agencies have the resources and tools available to them to deal with illicit trade and cross-Border smuggling. Sadly, despite all the good measures and the good work of our statutory agencies at local level, substantial illegal trade is still happening. I ask that we be vigilant at all times and that we introduce new measures, if needed, to counteract such illicit behaviour by gangsters and criminal gangs.
