Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Fees for Services.

Michael Bell

Ceist:

1 Mr. Bell asked the Taoiseach the various categories of fee set by him in relation to the services administered by him; the amount collected in 1989; the percentage increase in (1) 1969 and (2) 1979; the reason for the increase; the amount of fee in 1989; the date set; and the amount at which it would stand if it had been indexed to the cost of living since it was last set.

I propose to circulate in the Official Report the details requested by the Deputy.
