The Property Price Register and the Commercial Lease Register are published on the website operated by the Property Service Regulatory Authority (PSRA).

I am advised by Revenue that in line with the provisions of the Stamp Duty Consolidation Act, 1999 they supply data to the PSRA on a weekly basis, from the e-stamping system, to populate these registers. The e-stamping system is in operation since 30 December 2009.

There is currently no legal basis which would enable Revenue to supply to the PRSA any detailed data which is not captured by the e-stamping system without potentially infringing taxpayer confidentiality. I understand from Revenue that the data held prior to 2010 is also more limited.
