I am advised by Revenue that the net costs of storing, maintaining and disposing of seized goods for the years 2011 to 2018 are set out in the following table.

The figures include employee salaries, transport, security and other day to day expenditure, but exclude rental costs for the State Warehouse and any other related expenses incurred by the Office of Public Works.

Also during this period, a total of 68 seized vehicles were appropriated for State use; 46 to Revenue, 18 to An Garda Síochána and 4 to the Defence Forces. This represents notional saving to the State of €1.3 million approximately.
