Information in regard to development contributions collected by planning authorities are published in my Department's annual planning statistics, which are available in the Oireachtas Library. The total amount of development contributions on all developments commercial, industrial and residential collected by planning authorities in 2003 was €215 million. The 2004 planning statistics are currently being compiled; an initial estimate of the amount collected in development contributions in that year is €350 million. The amount collected is not distinguishable as between housing and industrial development contributions.
