The Government's Programme for Renewal indicated that the future of RPT would be considered in the context of a professional study of local government financing undertaken by the Minister for the Environment. As part of the study process a report, The Financing of Local Government in Ireland, was published by that Minister on 27 June this year. I will, as previously stated, evaluate all aspects of RPT when this study process is completed.
