Rates Collection Compared with Normal

Summary

The Minister said collection by 31 August was below the level normally expected, though he did not have the exact comparison.

Ray Burke Mr. Raphael Burke Fianna Fáil

Quite apart from the agricultural community, how does the amount collected—£66.8 million—compare with normal collection?

Peter Barry Mr. P. Barry Fine Gael

I have not the exact figure but it is less than would normally be expected to be collected at this time of the year. The amount of rates collected this year as a percentage is lower than what would normally be expected to be collected by 31 August.
