Written answers

I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the following tables represent the amounts of cash seized by Revenue at Dublin Airport and Port, and the amounts of cash that have been forfeited to the Exchequer under criminal justice legislation. There can often be a significant gap between the date of seizure and the date of forfeiture as detailed investigations are required. Some €2,166,321 of the cash seized in Dublin Airport and Port is still under investigation.
