As the Deputy may be aware the Department of Finance has a publicly available databank on its website with comprehensive tax data where this information can be found (http://databank.finance.gov.ie/). Similarly GNP data can be found on the CSO website (www.cso.ie). The estimate for 2012 GNP is taken from the Budget 2013 publication and is rounded to the nearest €25 million.
The information requested by the Deputy is provided below.
