Ruairí Ó Murchú (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

In fairness to the Minister, she is not the only member of the Government I have put this question to. I raised it with the Taoiseach earlier this week, and not for the first time. This issue needs to be taken to Cabinet level and addressed. I accept it is beyond the Minister's remit but there is a need for HMRC and Revenue to have fully-fledged conversations on providing a solution. The Minister mentioned some of the stakeholders, including Dundalk Chamber of Commerce. I am fairly sure this is an issue that it has raised in particular. It is a problem for those working on either side of the Border and for those who work on the other side of the Border.

I used the PayPal example because those employees had no choice. They had to be moved. I ask the Minister and other Cabinet members to come up with some sort of proposal on this. It will need some sort of an agreement with the British Government. That may be more possible now than it was previously. I would like it to be dealt with at Cabinet level.
