View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 601 and 602 together.
The data available to me relates to the Department of Transport, from its formation in 2002, and the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, from its formation in 2011. The following table summarises the details that the Deputy seeks. However, the Department does not have available statistics of the number of requests received for search and retrieval, so only the monetary amount of fees received is given.
