Mr. Niall Cody:

In 2017 there were 212 fines, totalling €566,000. In 2016 there were 187 fines, totalling €493,000. These cases are published in our quarterly publication on a Part 2 list of tax defaulters, the settlements of which are not covered in the newspapers. There have also been 554 compromise settlements for the use of marked oil. This occurs when Revenue has made a settlement in lieu of prosecution. A total of €641,930 in compromise settlements was paid to the Revenue Commissioners. We publish the details in our annual report and headline results every year.
