I am advised by Revenue that the three main Customs Airports (Dublin, Shannon and Cork) have permanently assigned officers in attendance. Goods and passengers arriving from 3rd Countries (countries outside the EU) may present for Customs clearance at these three airports.

Such visits are normally unannounced, but circumstances may require that arrangements are made to ensure personnel and records are available.
