Revenue chair: Brexiteers wrong to say no-deal Brexit won't affect cross-border trade

Brexiteers are ‘not right’ to say cross-border trade will continue as normal should the UK and Europe fail to negotiate a withdrawal agreement, the chair of the Revenue Commissioners has warned.

Niall Cody told the Oireachtas Finance Committee that Revenue will need to bring forward plans to have 600 extra staff in place by 2021 to ‘as soon as possible’ in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
