The information requested by the Deputy in relation to the years 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 is published in the Department's Annual Statistical Report, available at .
I have reproduced the figures for those years in the attached tabular statement, which also includes the equivalent figure for January-October 2018.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
