537. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 489 of 26 February 2013 in which he advised the Commercial Leases Database would be published by the end of March 2013, and the subsequent failure of the Property Services Regulatory Authority which acts under his auspices to publish the CLD by the end of March 2013, if he will provide an explanation for the delay and a new date for the publication of the CLD; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I indicated in my reply to Question No. 489 of 26 February 2013 that I was advised by the Property Services Regulatory Authority that work on the preparation of the Commercial Leases Database was ongoing with the aim of publishing the Database by end March 2013.

However, the data which the Authority will use in the first instance is to be obtained from the Revenue Commissioners. Due to pressures on the Office of the Revenue Commissioners arising from the implementation of the Local Property Tax, it was not possible for that Office to provide the necessary data within the originally anticipated timeframe. The Authority has been advised that the necessary data is likely to be transferred to it by the Revenue Commissioners by end May. If the Authority receives the necessary data by end May, it would anticipate being in a position to publish the initial Commercial Leases Database by mid June.
