I propose to take Questions Nos. 110 and 111 together.

I am advised by Revenue that, based on Personal Expenditure Consumption (PCE) data, an estimate of the VAT yield and the VAT foregone at the reduced rate of 9% for each year from 2011 to 2016 is provided in the table below.  As 2016 PCE data are not yet available, figures provided for 2016 are provisional estimates.

I am advised by Revenue that as the information furnished on VAT returns does not require identification of the yield from a particular activity or product, the receipts in respect of the activities specified in the question is not available.
