170. Deputy Seán Conlan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the amount of revenue collected from motor tax for pre-2008 vehicles in 2015 to date, by county; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40872/15]

I understand that the question relates to revenue from motor tax for the current year. Vehicles registered prior to 1 July 2008 are taxed on the basis of engine capacity. Gross motor tax receipts (including arrears payments) from vehicles taxed on engine capacity for each licensing authority for the period from 1 January to 31 October 2015 are set out below. It should be noted that Dublin City Council collects on behalf of the other Dublin local authorities, and that Cork and Galway County Councils collect on behalf of the respective City Councils. The figures for Dublin, Cork and Galway in the table therefore refer to those counties, rather than to the specific licensing authorities.
