Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 May 2018
76. Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Finance the reason officials from the Revenue Commissioners have not attended county council joint policing committee, JPC, meetings in the north west region despite assurances given to Deputies at a meeting in October 2017 that they would do so in order to address concerns about the importation of narcotics in the area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18555/18]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that it is available to attend meetings of Joint Policing Committees (JPC) to address concerns regarding the importation of narcotics and has already attended a meeting of the Mayo JPC following an invitation from Mayo County Council.
Revenue has not been invited to, or notified of, any other such meetings in the North West area. Revenue has confirmed that it will participate in any future JPC meetings if invited to do so by the relevant local authority.
