I am advised by Revenue that having regard to the provisions of Section 851A of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997, whereby Revenue is obliged to treat taxpayer information confidentially, they are precluded from providing the information requested by the Deputy. I would note that the ESB website includes a link to the annual report for 2015 and previous annual reports which includes public information on the ESB, its subsidiaries and their taxation treatment.
