I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that as regards the import of aircraft for complete dismantling, in accordance with international best practice, such activity involving air traffic into the State is risk assessed by Revenue.  Inspections or interventions are undertaken where, in the light of the risk assessment, such action is considered warranted by Revenue.
