I am advised by Revenue that attendance at events such as the Banagher Horse Fair forms part of the broad range of normal compliance activities undertaken by them. It is not possible to separately segregate the annual cost for attendance at this event as this varies from year to year according to the assessed risk, the number of officers deployed and other compliance activities that will be undertaken as part of Revenue's normal day to day operations. I am advised by Revenue that officers attend as part of their normal work and no additional staff costs are incurred.
