Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 May 2013
442. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide the numbers in tabular form by county who have paid the household charge on each of these dates, 31 December 2012, 31 January 2013, 28 February 2013, 31 March 2013 and 30 April 2013; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22691/13]
View answerThe Local Government (Household Charge) Act 2011 provides the legislative basis for the Household Charge. Under the Act, an owner of a residential property on the liability date is liable to pay the Household Charge, unless otherwise exempted or entitled to claim a waiver. It is a matter for an owner of a residential property to determine liability and pay the Charge. The Local Government Management Agency is administering the Household Charge system on a shared service/agency basis for all county and city councils.
The following table details the properties registered for the Household Charge, including waiver registrations, by local authority area on 31 December 2012, 31 January 2013, 28 February 2013, 31 March 2013 and on 30 April 2013. I am advised by the Agency that due to relatively low volumes, waiver details are not automatically extracted on a daily basis and the numbers of waivers cannot be retrospectively generated once a date has passed. Therefore, in assembling the table, the figure for the number of waivers for some dates has been estimated by the Agency using the closest available date for which waiver figures are recorded. Given the low number of waivers as a proportion of the total number of properties registered, the impact on the data in the table is minimal.
