I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that statistics on tax receipts are not recorded in such a manner as would enable the information requested by the Deputy to be provided. Such information could not be obtained without conducting a protracted investigation of the Revenue Commissioners' records. I refer the Deputy to the recent combined answer to PQs 32018/07 — 32023/07 on 4th December last, which provided information for some tax heads on the basis of county divisions. Expenditure information is not collected in such a way as to show a breakdown of public expenditure by region.
