Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 January 2016
89. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance the number of successful applications to date in each relevant area under the living city initiative; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3702/16]
View answerI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that, in relation to the Living City Initiative, applications are only required to be made to the relevant local authority under the residential element of the scheme. Applications are not required to be made under the commercial element of the scheme. Based on information received from the City and County Councils to date, the numbers of applications received under the residential element of the Living City Initiative, which meet the conditions of the scheme, per eligible city are as follows:
|
City |
Applications Received |
|
Dublin |
12 |
|
Cork |
2 |
|
Limerick |
0 |
|
Waterford |
7 |
|
Kilkenny |
2 |
|
Galway |
2 |
Dublin City Council and Cork City Council have both received, in error, two applications under the commercial element of the scheme, which are not reflected in the above numbers. Details of the numbers participating in the commercial element of the scheme will become available when the tax returns for 2015 are processed.
