I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that a breakdown of marked diesel seizures by county is not available at present as administrative records are maintained on a regional basis only. Details of seizures of mineral oils by type and value (where appropriate) and region during the period 1 January 2005 to 30 June 2008 are as follows:
