I can confirm that arrangements under the procurement process have been completed for the acquisition of a new mobile scanner for the Revenue Commissioners. Revenue has completed Factory Acceptance Testing, and the new Scanner is due to arrive in Dublin Port in November. Following testing the new scanner will be commissioned and operational soon after.
