I propose to take Questions Nos. 144, 166 and 169 together.

I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that compliance data in relation to the Local Property Tax (LPT) is available broken down by city and county councils nationally and the most up to date figures for LPT collected in 2013 and 2014 were published on 16 April 2014 on the Commissioners' website at: . The Commissioners have confirmed that by the end of December 2013, €318m had been transferred by Revenue to the Exchequer in respect of LPT.  Of this amount, €242m was in respect of LPT for 2013 and €76m relates to 2014 LPT. By the end of May 2014, a further €289m was transferred by Revenue to the Exchequer. The Commissioners have also confirmed that more detailed data and analysis will be published in due course.

With regard to the request for an estimate of the projected yield from LPT for 2014, I would direct the Deputy's attention to the  comprehensive replies I gave to a number of Parliamentary Questions this year in particular Questions 148 (16578/14) and 149 (16580/14) on 8 April, Question 28 (10420/14) on 4 March and Questions 76 (8824/14) and 77 (8825/14) on 20 February.
