47.
The total number of rated land holdings with valuations of £20 or less is 318,667. I propose with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate with the Official Report, a tabular statement giving the rates leviable in each county on farms of £20 land valuation or less in 1966-67. The total of such rates was £1,230,233 and the average net rates leviable in 1966-67 would amount to £3 17s 3d. The estimated cost to the Exchequer of the reliefs announced in the Budget in respect of 1967-68 is £1.6 million.
Following is the statement:
