Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 188 and 189 together.
I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that their obligation to observe confidentiality for taxpayers and small groups of taxpayers involved precludes them from providing the information requested. However, I can say that the overall yield for the air travel tax from its inception is €99m — this yield is in respect of departing passengers in the ten months from April 2009 to January 2010.
