Rose Conway Walsh: I want to get a picture for myself of how much overall Brexit will cost. The follow-on question is whether there is any way of us recouping any of that from the EU or must we bear the brunt of it?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: What I am trying to get at is someone has to pay for this. At the end of the day, it comes from citizens and all of us paying our taxes. How much worse off will we be due to what we need to do to comply with the new regulations that will be needed?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: I know that. I am only trying to get the Revenue figure for the moment. Will we be €30 million worse off each year, will it be much less than that or will it be cost neutral? It is difficult to estimate. I seek even a ball park figure of what it may be.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit Preparedness and Related Matters: Revenue Commissioners (24 Jan 2019)
Rose Conway Walsh: That is €30 million extra per year over a ten-year period. I would be surprised if it was kept to that.

- 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)
