I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the numbers of lapsed licences for each of the years 2002 to 2007 inclusive, is set out below under various categories. I am further advised by the Revenue Commissioners that traders are not obligated to inform Revenue as to why they have decided to let a licence that they hold lapse. Accordingly, the Revenue Commissioners are not in a position to comment on this matter.
