Amharc ar fhreagraThere are 26 staff (whole time equivalents) working in the Export Refunds area of my Department at the present time — a quarter of the number engaged in this area ten years ago. The plan is for further substantial reductions over the next few months as remaining work is cleared and export-refund related activity continues to decline.
