Written answers

I am advised by the Office of the Revenue Commissioners that it plans to purchase one new mobile container scanner in 2021 to replace one that has reached end-of-life.

It is expected that the total cost for the new scanner will be approximately €1.8m. Revenue has applied for a grant from OLAF (the European Anti-Fraud office) under the Hercule III Programme to fund up to 80% of the cost of this scanner.

Revenue has confirmed that the current number of mobile scanners meets its operational needs. This is kept under review, having regard to ongoing risk assessment and evolving operational needs.
