I am informed by my colleague the Minister of Transport, Tourism and Sport that the annual gross receipts from motor tax are as set out in the below table:
| - | 2013 €bn | 2014 €bn | 2015 €bn |
|---|---|---|---|
| Motor Tax Receipts | €1.137 | €1.159 | €1.124 |
It has not been possible in the time allowed to obtain the Driving Licence Receipts from the Road Safety Authority, however, I will ensure that this information is forwarded directly to the Deputy once it is available.
