That a sum not exceeding £23,348 be granted to complete the sum necessary to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1927, for the Salaries and Expenses of the General Valuation and Boundary Survey under the Acts 15 and 16 Vict., c. 63; 17 Vict., c. 8; 17 Vict., c. 17; 20 and 21 Vict., c. 45; 22 and 23 Vict., c. 8; 23 Vict., c. 4; 27 and 28 Vict., c. 52; 37 and 38 Vict., c. 70; 61 and 62 Vict., c. 37; 19 of 1923 (Saorstát Eireann); and the Local Government (Application and Adaptation of Enactments) Order, 1925; including Estate Duty Valuation under the Finance (1909-10) Act, 1910.
I think there is scarcely any feature in this Estimate that calls for comment. The chief statutory duty of the Valuation Department is to carry out the annual revision of tenements as requested by the rating authorities. In the case of estates liable to estate duty, the Valuation Office acts on behalf of the Revenue Commissioners in assessing the value of the property.
