Central Fund Related Accounts - Revenue Account 2019 (19 Nov 2020)

Verona Murphy: It is a significant issue given that we are an island. Dublin Port's infrastructure is very congested and has been for two years. Come January and Brexit, we are going to face significant issues. The manager of Dublin Port admitted this week that the infrastructure is in the wrong place. Can Mr. Cody tell me the percentage of inspections Revenue purports to do post-Brexit? For instance,...

Verona Murphy: I will leave it at that. Mr. Cody said it will be 1% to 2% of the volume. On any morning of the week in Dublin Port, 300 trucks arrive on two ferries, which means 30 to 60 of those trucks will be inspected.

Verona Murphy: I have one other significant question. Does Mr. Cody believe it would be better, and it would lead to less congestion, if there was a contingency plan to deal with the land bridge traffic that circumvented the common transit convention? It would lead to no regulatory checks. Would it better if those trucks were taken out of the customs system and put on direct ferries?

Verona Murphy: The real answer, as pointed out by Mr. Cody, is that traffic within the Single Market that does not need to enter the third-country traffic will be disrupted with all of the other traffic. We should have been preparing for that eventuality.

Verona Murphy: It is not in being at the moment because the floor of that does not meet the requirement of the pump price for the operator to be paid, so the carbon increase that we were discussing earlier will not be rebated. The effect is to give fuel launderers the opportunity to raise their heads again. Equally, the Revenue Commissioners were handed, virtually on a plate, the ability to detect anybody...
