The head of the Revenue Commissioners has dismissed speculation that old customs posts are being restored for use after Brexit.
The question was posed to Niall Cody by Donegal TD Pearse Doherty at the Oireachtas Finance Committee this morning.
It’s after a number of reports that building works were being carried out at three border posts in Donegal.
Nial Cody denied the rumours: 'I can tell you and your constituents, we are not involved in the cleaning up of any facilities, and I hear about border posts being done up for us. I didn't even know that that work was done in those locations'.
Mr Cody confirmed that there will be no customs posts along the border in the case of a no-deal Brexit.
He has also said that an extra 400 staff are ready to come on stream to deal with the workload - with a 12-fold increase in customs paperwork expected to be processed after Britain leaves.
