195. To ask the Minister for Finance if his Department, the Revenue Commissioners or NAMA collect and collate data on those entities which purchase multiple residential properties from NAMA and which subsequently let those properties to local authority tenants through any of the local authority rental schemes available (details supplied); the number of local authority tenants each entity rents units to; the cost to the Exchequer per entity; and the number of units as a percentage of the total number of rental units available in any given time period, quarterly, yearly, and so on.

My Department does not collate such information. I am also advised by NAMA and the Revenue Commissioners that those bodies, likewise, do not collate this data. Income tax returns submitted to Revenue in respect of rental income are not furnished in a manner that would enable the prior ownership of rental properties to be identified, nor do they provide information on the tenants.
