I will not keep the committee long. I thank the witnesses for their presence today. Everybody seems to be making contradictory statements. The important point is that there is consultation. If we get anything from today's meeting, it should be that there needs to be real consultation and engagement.

Does Revenue accept the statements of the hauliers that there are disjointed customs clearance systems which have been creating crippling delays in trade? Given the statement by the Minister for Foreign Affairs in the Dáil yesterday about the new realities of Brexit, can we have real engagement and consultation to iron out such matters?

We accept our new reality but such concerns cannot be allowed to continue to obtain. I ask that there be engagement between Revenue and hauliers. Do the witnesses accept that there is a disjointed approach and that this is causing crippling delays?
