Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 December 2007
202 Deputy Damien English asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance the per capita tax revenue and Government expenditure in the Border Midlands Western region, Dublin region, south-west region and east and south-east region; and if he will provide the information in tabular readable form. [34214/07]
View answerI am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that statistics on tax receipts are not recorded in such a manner as would enable the information requested by the Deputy to be provided. Such information could not be obtained without conducting a protracted investigation of the Revenue Commissioners' records. I refer the Deputy to the recent combined answer to PQs 32018/07 — 32023/07 on 4th December last, which provided information for some tax heads on the basis of county divisions. Expenditure information is not collected in such a way as to show a breakdown of public expenditure by region.
