Andrew Boylan
Question:15 Mr. Boylan asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the inconvenience caused at the Manorhamilton customs post, County Leitrim to traffic and hauliers both exporting to Northern Ireland and materials coming to the South due to the short hours of operation from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. excluding lunch hours; if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that perishable goods have had to be destroyed as a result of the unsuitable opening hours and that additional costs are incurred to the haulier, should he require the customs officer to remain on duty after 6 p.m.; if he will now consider changing this system in the interest of all concerned; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
