As regard (1), (2) and (3) of the Deputy's question, statistics in relation to the year ended 31st March, 1963, were given in reply to Question No. 7 on the 18th July, 1963. Similar information in relation to the year ended 31st March, 1964, is not yet available. Statistics are not compiled in a manner which would enable the other information requested by the Deputy to be given.
Might I ask the Minister how he can say that statistics are not so compiled when I have here before me a list given me by the Revenue Commissioners in December 1955 under these 11 headings?
I will want to look into that.
If he wants a copy I will present it to him. Surely the Revenue Commissioners would do it for him if he asked for it.
