Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 March 2012
119 Deputy Patrick O’Donovan asked the Minister for Finance if he will provide evidence that persons (details supplied) applied for mortgage interest relief; the procedure that was followed by a company to get mortgage interest relief; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12164/12]
View answerMortgage interest relief is available only to individuals. I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the process of registering for such relief is undertaken by the individual/s to whom a particular mortgage in respect of a principal private residence applies rather than the mortgage provider or relevant financial institution. Revenue has confirmed that following representations made by the Deputy in the matter that direct contact was made with the persons concerned and that the matter has been resolved.
