I propose to take Questions Nos. 289, 290, 291, 292, 293 and 294 together.
I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the relevant information available is in relation to the number of income taxpayers by range of gross income for the income tax year 1997/98.
Following is the information requested in so far as it is available:
