As the Deputy will be aware, the DIRT rate was increased by 3 per cent in Budget 2013. The most recently published fiscal forecast was contained in the SPU in April. The DIRT forecast underpinning the 2013 projection was c. €650m. If there is no change in the applicable DIRT rate, the estimated yield in 2014 is c. €675m, which includes carryover from the Budget 2013 measure. It should be pointed out that these figures may be comprehensively revised in the context of the White Paper and Budget 2014 as emerging fiscal and economic data are taken on board.
