Written answers

Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

I refer to the reply to Question No. 227 of 13 December 2016 which sets out the position in respect of development levies. The detailed information sought relating to development levies paid or payable in respect of houses at various price points is not available in my Department. The taxes element of the question is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Finance.
