I propose to take Questions Nos. 253 and 254 together.

I am advised by Revenue that in relation to Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT), the number of vehicles which were the subject of a written warning, detained under section 140 of the Finance Act 2001, seized under section 141 of the Finance Act 2001 and/or where a compromise penalty was paid under S144(2) or S128(5) of the Finance Act 2001 for each of the years 2015 to 2021 are as set out in the table below.

A breakdown of the non-VRT checkpoint seizures and compromise penalties is not available, as this information is not maintained on Revenue systems.
