I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the information sought by the Deputy is set out in the following table:
Year | Number of seizures of "illegal fuel" from filling stations | Litres of "illegal fuel" seized |
2008 | 9 | 45,500 |
2009 | 7 | 31,040 |
2010 | 14 | 130,100 |
2011 | 53 | 299,357 |
I would add that in 2011 a total of 32 filling stations were "shut down" by Revenue for unlicensed trading.
