Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

The information included in the Residential Property Price Register is compiled from data filed with the Revenue Commissioners for Stamp Duty Purposes. I am advised by the Property Services Regulatory Authority, which has responsibility for the Register, that all properties filed with the Revenue Commissioners in the period 1 January 2010 to 19 October 2012 are on the Register and that the property referred to by the Deputy is not included. The Residential Property Price Register provides information on the address of the property, its sale price and date of sale. The Register does not provide any information on the quantum of stamp duty paid to the State, which is solely a matter for the Revenue Commissioners.
