I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that data on seizures of tobacco products are not compiled on the basis of local authority areas and that it would not be possible, therefore, to provide the Deputy with separate figures in respect of each of the four local authority areas in Dublin. Information can be provided, however, for the overall seizures made in the Revenue Commissioners’ Dublin Region, which encompasses the administrative areas of the four Dublin local authorities, and is set out in the following table. The majority of the seizures listed in the table took place at Dublin Port and Dublin Airport.
