94. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Finance the number of seizures of cigarettes and tobacco products by the Revenue Commissioners at Dublin Airport, Dublin Port and Dún Laoghaire Port in County Dublin, in the years 2013 and 2014 and in 2015 to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24196/15]
Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan): I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that seizure figures are not separately maintained for Dún Laoghaire. That data is incorporated in the data maintained for Dublin Port as the Revenue operations at Dún Laoghaire are directed and managed from Dublin Port. The data requested by the deputy is as set out in the following tables:
