Unfortunately it is not possible to extract the cumulative data in respect of the period from 14th June 2010 to 31st December 2013 due to changes in how the information in question is stored within the Revenue data warehouse.
When the Deputy requested this information in September 2014, Revenue advised that, as it had not been possible to collate the information at that time, Revenue would contact the Deputy when it became available. Every effort has since been made to obtain the information but it is has not proved possible to retrieve the aggregate information which the Deputy requires. Currently the CA 24 information can be retrieved only at individual case level, and Revenue IT systems will require further development before tabular summaries of this data can be extracted. Owing to competing priorities, this IT development will take some time to deliver.
Revenue wishes to apologise to the Deputy for not contacting her, as promised, in the earlier reply to her on this matter.
