Clare Daly

Question:

58. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 80 and 82 of 6 October 2016 and Nos. 182 and 183 of 18 October 2016, if he will provide a breakdown of the number of multiple property owners in each of the ranges supplied in Parliamentary Question No. 82 of 6 October 2016, with the number of persons owning property in each range, excluding approved housing bodies. [32161/16]

Written answers

Minister for Finance

I am advised by Revenue that an additional breakdown of the number of persons owning multiple properties, excluding Approved Housing Bodies, is not available as such entities are not separately identifiable on Revenue records.  To accurately identify all of Approved Housing Bodies would require a manual examination of Revenue LPT and other tax records. Revenue is not in position to conduct such an exercise at present.
