The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the Table hereunder. I should note that from 1 January 2000 to 31 March 2004, the prescribed fee for an appeal was IR£5 per appeal (or its subsequent euro equivalent), which was to be refunded if the appeal was successful. In accordance with the Video Recordings Act 1989 (Fees) Regulations 2004 (S.I. No. 113 of 2004), from 1 April 2004 the prescribed fee for an appeal has been €1,000, which is also refundable if the appeal is successful. Accordingly the total fee income in respect of appeals set out in the Table below is the fee income in respect of those appeals which were denied in each year.
