Ms Geraldine Tallon:
The Deputy asked about the collection level of rates. The collection of commercial rates in 2007 was 93%.
The level of collection has decreased somewhat in recent years. In 2010, rates collection was 81%; in 2011, the rate was 76%. There has been something of a dropping-off for reasons of economic stress.
