Cormac Devlin: I confirm that I am on the campus. I welcome the witnesses and thank them for their attendance. It is good to engage with them again. I will touch on three topics: customs and excise; Brexit; and suspicious transaction reports. Starting with customs, Mr. Cody stated that there had been significant seizures of drugs and cigarettes in 2020 and 2021 and that Revenue was continuing its...

Cormac Devlin: He must be the only person who is happy to speak about Brexit. I believe Mr. Cody gave figures for cigarette seizures of €32.8 million and €40 million for 2020 and 2021, respectively. Does he have a breakdown of the drug seizures? I believe that the figures Mr. Cody provided only related to certain seizures. Were they the global figures for those years?

Cormac Devlin: I thank Mr. Harrahill. He might touch on significant seizures of other substances. He mentioned cocaine. The jump between the 2020 and 2021 figures is significant in light of the lockdown. While the world was looking at lockdowns, smugglers clearly were not. Instead, they were looking at opportunities. I commend the work of the customs agents and their sister agencies around the world...

Cormac Devlin: I will return to my previous line of questioning on Brexit. We were talking about the new changes coming in in January and the Revenue Commissioners' engagement with SMEs, which is very welcome, but I am wondering about the impact that Brexit has had overall on customs and excise duties and the collection of these since early 2021.

Cormac Devlin: Is there a cost associated with that? The delegates may send a breakdown to us in a note if they do not have it to hand. Could I have a rough estimate of the expenditure, between when Brexit came into our orbit and now, on ICT, the new staff, online preparation, forms, courses, and changes to the ports? Is there a rough estimate as to how much it has cost the Revenue Commissioners?
