The information requested by the Deputy is contained in the following table. It should be noted that over the past few years some divisions have been restructured and/or have changed division name. Hence there are no figures for some divisions for particular years. It should also be noted that responsibility for Regional and Local Roads, the Roads Inspectorate and Driver and Vehicle Computer Services transferred to my Department from the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government in 2008.
