Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to repeated difficulties being reported in cases in which goods purchased by Irish consumers from vendors outside the EU are being returned to senders by An Post in instances in which the correct customs information is being provided by sellers on packages and that responsibility for the returns are being passed between An Post and the Customs Service; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact that consumers and overseas sellers are reporting that the scale of such returns is unprecedented internationally and appears to be only a matter for goods shipped through An Post and not through other freight companies; if there has been any communications between his Department and An Post and the Customs Service regarding the issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
