The net amount remitted to my Department in 2007 in respect of the plastic bag levy was €22,211,727. Copies of the Environment Fund's Annual Accounts up to and including 2006 are available in the Oireachtas library and detail the amount received in respect of the plastic beg levy for years prior to 2007. The 2007 Annual Accounts will be lodged in the Oireachtas library in due course after they have been audited by the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General.
