asked the Minister for Finance the total amount collected by way of request fees for each of the years 1925, 1935, 1945, 1955 and 1965 to date.

11.

asked the Minister for Finance the total amount collected by way of request fees by the Revenue Commissioners since 6th December, 1922.

I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to take Questions Nos. 9 and 11 together, and as the reply includes a tabular statement to circulate it, also with your permission, in the Official Report.

Following is the information:—

Separate statistics of these fees are available only since 1st April, 1955, and only in respect of financial years. Following are the particulars requested so far as they are available.
