Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 December 2017
229. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will examine correspondence (details supplied) brought to the attention of his Department regarding a customs matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53077/17]
View answerMy Department has been in contact with the person in question to inform them that the matters raised do not fall within the responsibility of the Department of Justice and Equality. These matters are more appropriate for Customs officials in the Office of the Revenue Commissioners and a copy of the correspondence has been sent to that Office for their attention and consideration.
I am advised by the Office of the Revenue Commissioners that the matters raised in the correspondence are receiving attention and they will be in direct contact with the person in question in due course.
To be of assistance , a copy has also been sent to the Garda authorities.
