Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 11 January 2012
103 Deputy Seán Kenny asked the Minister for Finance the number of filling stations seized by Revenue Commissioners for selling illegal diesel and petrol for the years 2008 to 2011, inclusive; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1090/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the information sought by the Deputy is set out in the following table:
|
Year |
Number of seizures of “illegal fuel” from filling stations |
Litres of “illegal fuel” seized |
|
2008 |
9 |
45,500 |
|
2009 |
7 |
31,040 |
|
2010 |
14 |
130,100 |
|
2011 |

299,357 |
I would add that in 2011 a total of 32 filling stations were "shut down" by Revenue for unlicensed trading.
