I propose to take Questions Nos. 622 and 623 together.

Some €150,995,463 was collected in development contributions by planning authorities in 2002. Based on information supplied by planning authorities to my Department for the Annual Planning Statistics, the provisional figure for 2005 is almost €520 million. Returns made to my Department do not distinguish between the various classes of development.
