Vol. 209 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Report on Rating.

23.

asked the Minister for Local Government if in view of his statement on 4th July, 1963, the report is available of the Economic Research Institute which has been working with his Department on the problem of a permanent measure on rating.

The Economic Research Institute has published three papers relating to the question of local taxation. These are:

(a) Local Government Finance in Ireland — A Preliminary Survey, published in May, 1962;

(b) Irish County Incomes in 1960 —published in September, 1963, and

(c) Local Government Finance and County Incomes—published in March, 1964.

Has the Minister any comments to make on that?

I probably have but I am not about to make them just yet.

Can the Minister tell us when he proposes to do so?

Not even that.

Because he has not even read them.
