Mortgage Interest Relief (MIR) is paid by way of tax relief at source (TRS) through the relevant lending institutions. A county level breakdown of MIR is not required for the proper administration of the scheme and for that reason is not captured by Revenue's IT systems. However, for the Deputy's information, the following table sets out the total number of mortgage accounts that received TRS for the years 2010 to 2013 along with the overall amount of TRS paid for each year.
