Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 March 2015
88. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance if he will provide, in tabular form, the sales of marked diesel on a county basis in each year from 2012 to 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9830/15]
View answerI am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the sales of marked diesel on a county basis are not readily available at present. However, a wide range of statistical information is available on the Commissioners' new, enhanced, Statistics webpage: http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/index.html. In relation to the Deputy's question, detailed information on volumes of clearances from tax warehouses of oils and other commodities can be found at http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/excise-volumes-commodity.pdf. Data for 2014 will be published in due course, 2013 is the most recent for which detailed data are currently available.
The clearances of Marked Gas Oil for excise purposes and the excise receipts for each of the requested years are as shown in the following table. The figures shown for 2014 are provisional at this time and may be subject to revision.

A new monthly Return of Oil Movements (the ROM1) was introduced by Revenue from the beginning of 2013. This return is mandatory for authorised warehousekeepers, distributors and forecourt retailers. Using this information, a detailed supply chain analysis can be constructed of all major movements of oil within the state. The ROM1 data are already providing valuable information at macroeconomic level for Revenue and these data will continue to be analysed.
