I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the information requested is not readily available and could not be obtained without conducting a protracted investigation of Revenue's records and the commitment of significant resources to do so. However, provisional data relating to the number of vehicles registered and the associated vehicle registration tax collected for 2008 and 2009, broken down by vehicle registration tax office, was compiled recently. The details are set out below.
