I propose to take Questions Nos. 196 to 198, inclusive, together.

I am advised by Revenue that the projected yields from increasing the current rate of stamp duty on commercial property from 2% to 6% or 10% could be in the region of €468 million and €936 million respectively.

The projected yield from increasing the current rate of stamp duty on shares from 1% to 4% or 5% could be in the region of €1,320 million and €1,760 million respectively.
