Written answers

Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

The requested information is currently being compiled by my Department. A separate response will issue to the Deputy as soon as possible, in accordance with the Standing Orders of Dáil Éireann.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51.

The question is interpreted to mean whether any taxation or other liability arising from any benefit-in-kind provided to any CEO was paid by the relevant State body. On that understanding, no such scenario arose in respect of any CEO in any of the State bodies under the aegis of my Department in the period in question.
