Verona Murphy: As Mr. Harrahill knows, I was very involved in the Brexit process. The difficulty is that, on occasions, it took days for cars in Dublin Port and in other ports to be cleared, while producing the documents required. Revenue had days initially. It gave the go-ahead. What concerns me about regulatory agencies such as Revenue making mistakes is that there is now an outstanding amount of...

Verona Murphy: It subsequently seems to have turned out that an awful lot of them were incorrect. Revenue cannot just say, 20 years later, that a car was cleared by Revenue but that it has now discovered that people cannot produce certain documents. I will take that up again. I ask Mr. Harrahill to answer the question about Rosslare. Does Revenue own the facility or has it purchased it?

Verona Murphy: Is Mr. Harrahill aware of any other customs facility or an inspection post that is outside of a port facility anywhere else in Europe?

Verona Murphy: On understanding that the facility was going to be based outside of the Rosslare Europort, it crossed nobody's mind to ask whether this was allowable, permissible or should be continued with. Mr. Cody is nodding his head. Did Mr. Cody look into that?

Verona Murphy: I appreciate that. Why is the facility temporary? Why can it not be continued? Can we not apply for a derogation? The outlay for the State agencies is €11 million of taxpayers' money for a state-of-the-art facility and staff are in the lap of luxury. Why do we feel the need to utilise space, that is very much space we do not have in the port facility, when we could easily apply...

Verona Murphy: The port of Le Harve has a sanitary and phytosanitary, SPS, facility located about 20 km outside of the port. This is why I find it extremely difficult to understand. In the context of Brexit, we have been plunged into and are the most affected. Most of the money is not beneficial to the businesses but being spent for the benefit of the regulatory agencies. Why did Revenue not see fit to...

Verona Murphy: I thank Mr. Harrahill for his answer but I do not accept it and will continue to pursue it. Does Revenue have any objection to sharing that under utilised and very spacious facility on the basis of road safety and, if needed, to erect a fence to provide for parking for the people who now must park on the side of the road thus causing a road safety issue?

Verona Murphy: In fairness, Croke Park is probably the domain of Mr. Cody's brother. I will ask about non-compliant procurement. There were nine instances in which it occurred to the value of €3.1 million. Will Mr. Cody give us an update on what measures have been taken to ensure that non-compliance does not happen? Is Revenue now compliant with the procurement rules?
