I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the information sought by the Deputy is set out in the following table:

YearNumber of seizures of "illegal fuel" from filling stationsLitres of "illegal fuel" seized
2008945,500
2009731,040
201014130,100
201153299,357

I would add that in 2011 a total of 32 filling stations were "shut down" by Revenue for unlicensed trading.
