Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

John Deasy: I appreciate that. I welcome Mr. Cody and his officials. I have been trying to take it all in over the past two and a half hours with regard to the general message. I suppose it is a bit different from the headline we read in The Irish Timesthis morning, which was based on the statement given to that newspaper last night.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

John Deasy: That is fine. Mr. Cody is trying to get across two things here today. He made it clear that he disagrees with Brexiteers who state there will not be much disruption and this is not a big deal. Notwithstanding that, Mr. Cody, with Mr. Harrahill, is making it very clear that the systems of their organisation can deal with a no-deal Brexit. Is that true? Is that fair to say?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

John Deasy: Mr. Cody has broken it down a bit more specifically than that. He spoke of three broad areas. The first was the IT infrastructure.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

John Deasy: Notwithstanding the 20 million declarations that might occur each year in trading with the UK, Mr. Cody made it clear that his organisation's IT systems would be able to deal with that in future.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

John Deasy: That is taken care of. Is that correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

John Deasy: I get that. It is €2 million. I saw that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

John Deasy: That is fair enough. That was IT and it was number one. Mr. Cody has made it very clear today, on a number of occasions, that he is confident the scenario of a no-deal eventuality can be dealt with. Second, Mr. Cody spoke about Government infrastructure across the board and he made it clear he is happy enough with governmental, intergovernmental and departmental arrangements at this point....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

John Deasy: I do not think anyone would assume or take for granted that there would not be delays and disruptions if that did arise. The third issue was helping businesses and Mr. Harrahill has dealt with that. There have been seminars, the broker issue has been dealt with and the meetings held so far have been satisfactory in that regard. I say that because we are dealing with a great deal of costs...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

John Deasy: That is fine. I understand where Mr. Cody is kind of caught here. A number of times he has expressed the view that it is pointless for him to speculate. That is fair enough. The dangerous area these days is when people do not say something like that and they try to talk their way out of the situation. I appreciate that fully. There is very little that Mr. Cody can say, in some cases,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)

John Deasy: I understand that. At the same time, he does need to give a level of comfort in regard to his organisation's planning for a no-deal Brexit. I get that and we all get that. What we need politically, however, is to ask the questions as to whether Mr. Cody and his organisation have got to the point of being comfortable with planning at this point.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
