Question:

165. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance the estimated revenue raised if a levy on single use coffee cups was introduced at a rate of five cent, ten cent and 20 cent per cup, respectively, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31598/19]

Written answers

Minister for Finance

With the information currently available, it is not possible to estimate the effect of a levy on single use coffee cups as no relevant data is included in the tax return data available to Revenue.
