I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the following table contains the information requested by the Deputy regarding prosecutions and convictions in respect of unlicensed trading contrary to the Auctioneers and House Agents Act 1947. The figures cover the years 2008 to date. It should be noted that there is no direct correlation between the institution of proceedings and the number of convictions in a given year, as the latter often relates to cases initiated in a previous year.
