Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Fergal O'Brien:

I will start and my colleagues might like to join in. To respond very briefly to Deputy Quinlivan's point, what we are really suggesting as far as the collection system is concerned is that we need a more uniform administrative collection process. The revenue should not be collected and managed centrally, but we think there would be economies of scale. If we can do that through a local government shared services approach, as we have done with other local government services, we would see a lot of benefit in that. We consider the non-collection rates across local government and the range is quite spectacular-----
