While figures in the precise form requested by the Deputies are not available in my Department, totals of rates receipts for the years referred to are set out in a tabular statement which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle. I propose to circulate with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:

NOTE: Details of rates receipts up to 31st March, 1973 are taken from abstracts of local authority accounts. Figures for subsequent financial years have been compiled from the Estimates of Expenditure adopted in each of the years by the local authorities.
Could I have the figure for 1976?
£107,200,000.
Could I have the figure for 1975?
If I did that, I would be giving the Deputy the tabular statement. I would suggest that the Deputy wait until he gets it.
