257 Mr. Bruton asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government his estimate of the total revenue raised by local authorities from development levies in 2003, 2004 and to date in 2005. [18917/05]
View answerInformation in relation to development contributions collected by planning authorities are published in my Department's annual planning statistics, which are available in the Oireachtas Library. The total amount of development contributions collected by planning authorities in 2003 was €215 million. The 2004 planning statistics are currently being compiled; an initial estimate of the amount collected in development contributions in that year is €350 million. My Department is not yet in a position to estimate the amount of development contributions that will be collected in 2005.
