Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 12 July 2012
66 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Finance the amount of cash seized by the Revenue Commissioners at Dublin Airport and Dublin Port for the years 2009, 2010, 2011 and to date in 2012; the amount of same that has been returned to the Exchequer in each of these years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34235/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the following tables represent the amounts of cash seized by Revenue at Dublin Airport and Port, and the amounts of cash that have been forfeited to the Exchequer under criminal justice legislation. There can often be a significant gap between the date of seizure and the date of forfeiture as detailed investigations are required. Some €2,166,321 of the cash seized in Dublin Airport and Port is still under investigation.
