Written answers

I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners as follows regarding the information requested. It is regretted that some of the information requested regarding licences issued in counties Galway and Roscommon in the last five years is not immediately available. However, this is being compiled and will be sent directly to the Deputy over the next number of days.
