Other Questions: Petrol Stretching (1 Apr 2015)

Denis Naughten: It has come to my attention that only about a third of the reports of petrol stretching that have been given to An Garda Síochána have been recorded by the Revenue Commissioners.

It raises the question of the priority the Revenue Commissioners are giving to the issue of petrol stretching, in...

Other Questions: Petrol Stretching (1 Apr 2015)

Denis Naughten: The fundamental problem here is that because there does not seem to be a loss to the Exchequer, it is not really an issue for the Revenue Commissioners.

Something serious went on here. The Minister has said 141 cases...

Other Questions: GLAS Eligibility (31 Mar 2015)

Denis Naughten: I thank the Minister for that briefing, which clarified a number of these issues for me.
