To ask the Minister for Finance the number of persons availing of the home renovation scheme; the cost of the scheme to date; the average individual benefit from the scheme; and if the Revenue Commissioners have compiled any geographical analysis of where the scheme is being availed of.

Data relating to the home renovation incentive scheme is available from the statistics section of the Revenue website at www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/index.html. In particular, the data requested by the Deputy, including a breakdown by county, are available in the "Tax Expenditures" section of the page at www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/hri-stats.pdf.

These statistics will be updated in due course.

The Deputy should note that the value of the tax credits referred to therein is not reflective of the cost to the Exchequer as not all credits have been claimed to date. Furthermore, it should be noted that tax credits claimed by an individual are split evenly over a two year period.
