380 Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for Finance if he will exempt snooker halls from commercial rates; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21535/01]
Under existing legislation all properties used for commercial and industrial purposes, including snooker halls, are liable for rates. I do not have any proposals to exempt snooker halls from rates.
