Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 May 2026
475. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance the total amount of taxation revenue collected from the mineral exploration and mining sector in each of the past ten years, broken down by corporation tax, royalties, licence fees, employer taxes and any other relevant category; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40091/26]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that the standardised NACE classification of economic activity does not currently capture mineral exploration specifically. As such, it is not possible to identify companies involved in mineral exploration from the statistical data available to Revenue.
However, the Deputy may wish to note that a breakdown of net receipts by broad economic sector, including Mining and Utilities, is available on the Revenue website at:
www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/receipts/sector/index.aspx.
2025 data will be added to this information in the coming weeks.
