I propose to take Questions Nos. 257 to 260, inclusive, together.
The Office of Public Works, on behalf of the Revenue Commissioners, the Department Agriculture, Food & the Marine, the Department of Health and the Department of Transport, Tourism & Sport, is working to put in place the infrastructure required for customs, sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) and health checks and controls at Dublin Port, Rosslare Europort and Dublin Airport when the transition period provided for under the draft Withdrawal Agreement expires at the end of 2020. In parallel with this, work is also underway to put in place temporary arrangements in the event that the UK leaves the EU at the end of March without an agreement. This includes the acquisition of sites and the installation of infrastructure at all three locations to cater for both scenarios. This work is ongoing.
An existing facility in Dublin Port is being refurbished in order to provide the necessary inspection facilities for the State agencies to carry out their statutory functions. An additional area has been identified for overflow parking and both facilities will be in place on or before the 30th March 2019. Planning requirements will be adhered to.
The Office of Public Works has also been engaged with the Dublin Port Company to ensure that the new traffic management system will be operational on the required date.
