87 Deputy Richard Bruton asked the Minister for Finance if the official statistics on income distribution published by his Department focus solely on tax cases as defined by the Revenue Commissioners instead of looking at the distribution across individual earners; if it is possible for the Revenue Commissioners to derive accurate estimates of the distribution of individual earners from the tax returns or at least make accurate estimates of the distribution; his views on routinely presenting data in this way in order that such data as the percentage of income tax paid by top earners could be judged according to the different measures; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
