asked the Minister for the Environment the total amount of motor vehicle tax collected in each of the years 1980 to 1987 inclusive; and the amount collected in County Monaghan for each of the said years.

I propose to circulate the reply, which is in the form of a tabular statement, in the Official Report. Following is the statement:

Total Motor Tax Office Receipts and State Road Grants paid in the country as a whole (1980-1987).

Total Motor Tax Office Receipts and State Road Grants paid in County Monaghan (1980-1987).

Column three comprises fees for driver licensing, certificates of roadworthiness and other miscellaneous items.
