210. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Finance the steps the Revenue Commissioners have taken to identify possible customs posts on the Border; the locations that have been examined for these posts; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9950/17]
View answerThe Government's position in relation to the border with Northern Ireland in the context of BREXIT is very clear and has been articulated by the Taoiseach on several occasions. Continued freedom of movement, absence of a hard border, and minimal impact on business and trade are key objectives. The Government is clear that any manifestation of a hard border would have very negative consequences. A key priority is to ensure the continued free flow of trade on the island and the need to avoid a hard border.
