asked the Minister for Finance the reason for the delay in the payment of a tax refund of £292 to a person (details supplied) in County Limerick; when this money will be paid; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that on the basis of the information supplied they are unable to trace the taxpayer in their records. If the taxpayer's revenue and social insurance (RSI) number is supplied to his inspector, together with any additional information which the inspector may require, the matter will be examined.
