The figures have been rounded off to the nearest thousand pounds. The 1984 figures have yet to be reconciled with the bank statements for that year. As regards the information requested in relation to driver testing fees separate figures are not readily available in relation to County Limerick. In 1984, £1.18 million was collected in driver testing fees for the country as a whole.
