Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government (2 Mar 2017) Seán Fleming: Before we go into the second round, I wish to put a few points to Mr. McCarthy. This is a legacy issue and may not be an issue for the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government. Some people have still not paid non-principal private residence tax. The answer to a recent parliamentary question indicated that €30 million was collected last year. With fines...

Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government (2 Mar 2017) Seán Fleming: Ms O'Donoghue seems to be indicating my figures are in the correct region. That was an extra €30 million coming into local authorities, which is good, but it is bonus money for them if they get it. Does the Department take into account how much each local authority collects on this?

Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government (2 Mar 2017) Seán Fleming: Is it kind of bonus income for the local authorities? If it comes, it comes. It is a windfall gain if they get it.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government (2 Mar 2017) Seán Fleming: It is still being collected at that rate. Given that €35 million is coming in per annum, has anyone in the Department calculated what is out there. It is probably a contingent asset. This phrase has come up about contingent asset - the Social Insurance Fund - but it is now clear to me that there is a stream of income of €30 million to €35 million per annum. That...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government (2 Mar 2017) Seán Fleming: Is Mr. McCarthy happy with it being dealt with in that way? Based on the €30 million last year, we are satisfied that there is money to be collected and is being collected. It is being handed in without anybody asking for it. Should someone in the Department not try to talk to the Revenue Commissioners and compare it with LPT and try to do some matching to see if it is possible to...
