I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that a Costs of Tax Expenditures Table is available on the Revenue Statistics webpage at http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/costs-expenditures.html.
This table displays the estimated cost, in terms of revenue forgone, as well as the numbers who availed of the main tax credits and reliefs, including the rent a room relief. In regards to the Deputy's question, the latest information on rent a room relief is for the year 2013.
