Question 37: To ask the Minister for Finance if he will ensure that the stamp duty exemption for farm consolidation is renewed by the end of June this year. [17636/11]

The relief from Stamp Duty for farm consolidation expired on 30 June. I understand the level of take up of the scheme was not particularly high: there were only 115 applications for the relief from its introduction in 2005 until the end of 2009; figures for 2010 and 2011 are not yet available. I have no plans at this time to renew this relief.
