[23749/02]

It is assumed that what the Deputy requires is the proportion of PAYE and self-employed income earners in the ranges of income specified as determined by reference to the income tax record. I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the information requested by the Deputy, estimated by reference to the income tax year 2002, is as follows:
