I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the cost of tax foregone to the Exchequer in terms of income tax and corporation tax for the development of nursing homes for each of the years 2007 to 2009, the latest year available, is set out in the table below;

I am also informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the information provided in tax returns in relation to claims for tax relief in respect of investment in private nursing homes is not sufficiently detailed to provide a basis for deriving the number of private nursing homes that have qualified on a county by county basis. I am not therefore in a position to provide the information requested by the Deputy on a geographical basis.
