Vol. 190 No. 2

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Rates Collection.

47.

asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state in respect of each local rating authority in the State for the last financial year for which returns are available (a) the percentage of rates collected and lodged as against the total nett demand and (b) the percentage cost of collection, including administration.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report. The information at (a) is given for the year ended 31st March, 1961, in respect of County Councils and County Borough Corporations. In the case of Urban District Councils, particulars are given in respect of the year ended 31st March, 1960, as full particulars are not yet available for the year ended 31st March, 1961.

Following is the information.
