In my reply to the previous Parliamentary Question cited by the Deputy I explained the practical difficulties in putting a value on the use by hospital consultants of public health facilities for private practice.  I also indicated that the Revenue Commissioners had this situation under active consideration. 

I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the matter continues to be under review and the question of whether the circumstances referred to by the Deputy do indeed give rise to a benefit-in-kind charge that is capable of being applied has yet to be determined.
