This is a matter for the Revenue Commissioners who are responsible for the administration of mortgage interest relief through the tax relief at source (TRS) system. I am advised by Revenue that following direct contact with the persons concerned, Revenue is satisfied that there is an entitlement to relief for the current year and up to 2017. Arrangements have been made for payment of the relief through the TRS system. In addition, relief due for the months to date in 2010, when relief was not paid, will be included as part of the payment arrangements now activated by the Revenue Commissioners.
