Ivor Callely

Ivor Callely

Ceist:

141 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Justice the taxable earnings of individual barristers under the criminal legal aid scheme for 1996 tax year; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18150/96]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 140 and 141 together.

Information in relation to the taxable earnings of solicitors and barristers under the criminal legal aid scheme is not maintained by my Department.

Information on the gross fees paid to solicitors and barristers in respect of the tax year ended 5 April 1996 is not readily available.

Information is available, however, regarding the gross amounts of fees paid to solicitors and barristers under the criminal legal aid scheme in respect of each calendar year up to 1995. Details of the gross fees paid to solicitors for the calendar year ended 31 December 1995 are set out in columns 404 to 416 of the Official Report of 27 February 1996 and details of the gross fees paid to barristers for that year are set out in the attached schedule.

The amounts shown in respect of barristers exclude any deductions made in respect of withholding tax and any payments made in respect of value added tax and prison visits.

The figures for the calendar year of 1996 will be made available in early 1997.
