I am advised by Revenue that the latest information on the cost and number of individuals availing of the Start Up Refunds for Entrepreneurs (SURE) scheme can be found at https://www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/tax-expenditures/costs-expenditures.aspx. The most recent year for which data are currently available is 2016, it is expected that 2017 will be available in the coming weeks at the same link.

The following table sets out the Exchequer cost and number of claimants  for each year between 2012 and 2016:
