I refer to the reply to Priority Question No. 46 on today's question paper.

The increase in development contributions in recent years reflects the large rise in construction activity which has led in its turn to increased demands for infrastructure, a fairer application of contributions across all development sectors and more accurate estimates by local authorities of their anticipated expenditure on infrastructure works; the latter is a requirement in advance of adopting a development contribution scheme under the Planning and Development Act 2000. In addition the 2000 Act for the first time provided that development contributions could be levied for local community infrastructure, such as playgrounds and parks.

The following tables set out the development contributions collected by planning authorities for the period 1983 to 2005. My Department does not have figures for development contributions collected prior to 1983.

Note: a number of authorities, mainly Urban District Councils, did not make complete returns in the years 1983 to 1989; therefore the figures for these years are not complete.
