I take it that the Deputy is referring to the stamp duty charged on the purchase of stocks and marketable securities of Irish incorporated companies. The following table sets out the receipts from this stamp duty for the years 2007-2016.

Year Stamp Duty on stocks and marketable securities
2007€609m
2008€419m
2009€208m
2010 €182m
2011 €195m
2012 €171m
2013  €251m
2014€282m
2015 €424m
2016€390m

The Deputy may be interested to note that a breakdown of all stamp duty receipts for the years 2007-2016 is available from Revenue's website at the following link:
