I take it that the Deputy is referring to the payments that are made to Ireland under the international agreements entered into by four major tobacco manufacturers, the European Union and Member States. I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the payments made to Ireland under those agreements in the years 2008 to 2012 are set out in the following table.

Payments to Ireland under international tobacco agreements

2009€907,329
2010€1,224,025
