19.

asked the Minister for Finance the total amount of money received in stamp duty in each of the last five years for each of the different bands of taxation in respect of (a) new house and (b) secondhand house transactions.

With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 18 and 19 together. Statistics relating to the receipts from stamp duties are not classified in a manner that would enable the information requested by the Deputy to be given.
