We know Revenue does not comment on individual cases.
This is the first time I have heard an authoritative person from Revenue agree the census figure of 1.99 million homes should have been the base line from the beginning. Revenue insisted the total number of homes was 1.66 million. Was this for propaganda purposes?
As Ms Feehily is aware, there is a great deal of anger and resentment about this tax. Lower figures would look better if the estimate were low to begin with.
