Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank Mr. Cody and his colleagues for being here. On the collection of Brexit duties, everybody has experienced new duties having been applied to packages, which they may or may not have been expecting. Will the witnesses give us a sense of the scale of the changes at work here? What scale of increase is being seen and how quickly can it be tracked? Can Mr. Cody give us that information?

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Mr. Harrahill may be able to answer a more specific question for me. A 60-fold increase is an astonishing expansion in any walk of life, for the public sector or for private enterprise. How is Revenue managing that as an organisation? To get some more detail on what Mr. Cody outlined, are these customs entries the result of people ordering things online and having large numbers of small...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Undoubtedly. It is sometimes a surprise and, if Mr. Harrahill does not mind me saying it, sometimes a nasty surprise, encountered when people have ordered gifts. As Mr. Harrahill said, the Revenue is coming into people's lives in a day-to-day way that it had not before. May I just turn to-----

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: In my remaining time I want to ask two questions on the work done on the suspicious transaction reports, STRs. Work remains to be done but when the system is updated with new key words that are, potentially, linked to cryptocurrencies or other marks of the black economy but, particularly cryptocurrencies, will that automatically have an effect on ratings? Once the work is done, will Revenue...

I thank staff in the Department of Social Protection, in particular, for all of the work they have done in processing the huge number of claims in recent years. I have also had the chance to observe over time the responsiveness of the Department on day-to-day issues. It is set apart from every other Department, in my experience as a Deputy. I get a...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: That was part of the difficulty with trying to establish that in terms of people in the informal economy, such as taxi drivers and others who were working in a self-employed capacity but not necessarily every week and did not have the same visibility of their work as others, being assessed differently. Will Mr. McKeon tell us about the analysis that will be done? When will it be done?

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I will ask about the group of people described in the informal economy coming to attention and being able to try to provide them supports. Can we identify that group as potentially needing support in the future? How would we do that, having become aware of them and having had a formal contact with the Department? What does Mr. McKeon envisage that this body of learning will mean later?

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: How does the Social Welfare Appeals Office maintain appropriate operational independence? What safeguards does it have? The office seems to be quite intertwined with the Department. The chief appeals officer sits on the management board. What is Mr. McKeon's comfort around how operationally independent it is?
