190. Deputy Seán Haughey asked the Minister for Finance the amount of local property tax collected in the Fingal County Council area in 2016; the amount of proceeds from the local property tax allocated to Fingal County Council in 2016; the way this money was spent; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that statistics relating to Local Property Tax (LPT) can be found on the statistics webpage of the Revenue website at www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/index.html. Specifically, the most recently available LPT information, including LPT collected in respect of the Fingal Local Authority area, is available at www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/local-property-tax-2016.html.
Allocations of LPT revenues to individual Local Authorities is a matter for my colleague the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government. I understand the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government has published details of the 2016 LPT allocations to Local Authorities on its website at the following link: www.housing.gov.ie/sites/default/files/migrated-files/en/Publications/LocalGovernment/Administration/FileDownLoad%2C43581%2Cen.pdf.
