Mr. Blythe: The Revenue Commissioners are precluded by law from disclosing particulars of income tax assessments or any information from which the liability to tax could be ascertained.

Mr. Briscoe Mr. Briscoe

Mr. Briscoe: I might mention that in handing in this question I was perfectly aware of the fact that that would be the attitude of the Minister for Finance. I was assured that the question would be handed to the appropriate Minister and that I would get the information. I felt that the Minister for Local Government could give this information, as it was through his Department that it was paid.
