I am advised by Revenue that as an integrated tax and customs administration, it deploys resources based on evolving business needs and to tackle any risks as they emerge.

Revenue staff at airports are deployed to a range of trade facilitation, service delivery and enforcement duties. Resources are deployed having regard to changing and evolving passenger and freight movements and the overall risk assessment arising in relation to such movements. At present there are over 220 Revenue staff assigned to our airports.

I am advised that Revenue continues to review and adjust staff deployment in response to business needs, including those arising from the UK’s departure from the European Union (EU).
