View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 281 to 284, inclusive, together.
These Questions relate to tax compliance matters of an individual person and associated Notices of Attachments from the Revenue Commissioners. It would not have been possible for the Department of Transport Tourism and Sport to comply with the requirements of these Notices without communicating with Revenue.
As these matters relate to tax compliance of an individual the Department of Transport Tourism and Sport would regard such communication as confidential.
