John McGuinness: That is what I was coming to. Mr. Cody was making the distinction between chasing the address or chasing the guy who is laundering diesel. Revenue will have to have significant personnel on the ground to deal with all these issues such as the examination and clearance of a truck and so on. The potential cost to Revenue, therefore, is significant.

John McGuinness: If someone is dealing with the clearance of a truck, whether it is groupage or a single lot from a company, Revenue will have to form a relationship with the company, which requires manpower. The organisation can have all the technology it wants.

John McGuinness: The organisation has scaled up and it has its ten staff in, but somebody else has to do Mr. Colgan's job. Are the other nine members of his team coming from within the organisation or are they new recruits?

John McGuinness: Let me give an example of a haulier who has a truck going to France via the Border. Mr. Cody has outlined the role of Revenue at the Border. What will happen when this truck crosses into Northern Ireland, travels to England and crosses to France? Could Mr. Cody say how many checks a truck would have to undergo on that journey?

John McGuinness: I wish to focus on costs and I will put questions to either Ms Lynch or Mr. Keegan. We were trying to work out the transport costs to the exporting company. Earlier, when we were trying to extrapolate the figures, the estimated cost ranged from €320 million to €500 million. The cost to business will be significantly more regardless of what happens. Companies will have to...

John McGuinness: Let us take the example of a haulier who is servicing the English market. His or her job will be to pick up a load in Kilkenny and complement that load. As a result of the fact that he or she is a groupage operator, he or she will heads towards the Border area and try to fill the container so that he or she has a full load of 50 different consignments. The driver has to have the paperwork...

John McGuinness: As I listen to the exchanges this morning, the real difficulty is for the small operator, namely, the haulier with just a few a trucks. He or she will have to have a number of different consignments and should one of them cause a problem at customs level, the other exporters who have their consignments on his or her truck will suffer a delay in terms of their being delivered to the United...
