I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the current number of staff assigned to Customs and Excise Enforcement roles at airports, ports and borders and in other monitoring operations is approximately 220. The number of staff deployed on any particular function within Revenue is a matter for the Revenue Board. I am assured that they keep such deployments under regular review having regard to risk, business demands and priorities.
