asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state the total amounts collected in rates during each of the years 1953-54 to 1955-56 and the estimated total for 1956-57.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Rate Collection.
As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:—
|
Year |
Total amount of rates collected |
|
1953-54 |
£15,986,794 |
|
1954-55 |
£17,034,562 |
|
1955-56 |
£17,940,000 |
|
1956-57 |
£19,400,000 |
The figure for 1954-55 is subject to audit and the figure for 1955-56 is approximate.
