Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 55 and 56 together.
I am advised by Revenue that the number of donors and the Exchequer cost of donations to Approved Bodies for the years 2010 to 2015 (the latest year for which data is available), are published in the ‘Cost of Tax Expenditures’ table which is available on Revenue’s website at:
https://www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/tax-expenditures/costs-expenditures.aspx.
