- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
John McGuinness: That refers to Revenue's current customers. This new arrangement will create a whole lot of other customers for it. Currently, people travel up and down to Northern Ireland. I watched a programme on the subject recently where there was an immediate cross-Border aspect but it was in a geographically tight location. They will be affected by it. I do not want to be unfair to Mr. Cody but I...

John McGuinness: Is that not next to impossible, in honesty?

John McGuinness: Is it possible to have a seamless transfer of goods across the border within the Thirty-two Counties without having any physical border?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
John McGuinness: I understand that. The European Union will tell us that it wants a border and Mr. Cody said that it is up the national Government to decide its response to that. I am asking Mr. Cody how Revenue responds to that. Is Mr. Cody satisfied that in that scenario, where the European Union is demanding a border at Northern Ireland, there will be no physical structures or customs posts there and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
John McGuinness: I understand that but how can Mr. Cody say that there will not be a physical presence?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
John McGuinness: Therefore, Mr. Cody cannot predict whether there will be a customs border.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
John McGuinness: Containers and trucks come into Dublin Port where checks are undertaken and there is a possibility of random physical checks. I am not trying to put Mr. Cody on the spot on this matter, but it is reasonable to believe that in the absence of a backstop agreement that as part of their work, the Revenue Commissioners will require that they must have some sort of presence along the Border. Are...

John McGuinness: Does that activity explain the 600 staff?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
John McGuinness: They had better open an office here. Will that not hold up everything? It certainly has the potential to do so.
- 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 McGuinness: Will that be €45 million in 2019?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
John McGuinness: It will be €30 million or €45 million from that point onwards.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
John McGuinness: Yes, depending on the running costs.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
John McGuinness: I would love to see a really stark warning to businesses around the issues we discussed. I am aware that Mr. Harrahill is doing different interventions with the business representatives but there are also people who do not attend these conferences and they are reliant on the matter being fixed. They believe it is too big to fail and it will be fixed. I do not think that businesses in...

John McGuinness: Now.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
John McGuinness: The issue of VAT on food supplements was raised yesterday in the House. I understood that food supplements were classified under an EU directive. Suddenly we have now moved to this imposition of a 23% VAT rate on these goods. This will cause serious problems for small shops dotted around the country, some of which are located in the high streets of our towns and villages, and to their...

John McGuinness: With whom has it been discussed?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
John McGuinness: Is there any truth to the matter of EU Directive 2002/46/EC that deals with the labelling of these supplements?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
John McGuinness: The Revenue Commissioners interpretation of this is given to the Minister. I gather the Minister said yesterday that he normally accepts the recommendations of the Revenue Commissioners.
