179. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Finance the number of visits by Customs and Excise officers to a location (details supplied) in 2013, 2014, 2015 and to date in 2016; the number of those visits that were not notified in advance to the owners and staff of the location; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30567/16]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that a decision on whether to undertake a visit to or an intervention at an aerodrome is dictated by Revenue's assessment of risk, having regard to a range of factors, which for operational reasons Revenue is not in a position to disclose. Where visits or interventions are undertaken, there is no prior notification of same.
The number of visits for the location concerned is as follows:
|
Year |
No. of Visits |

2013 |
23 |
|
2014 |
18 |
|
2015 |

2016 (to date) |
