While I am aware of the recent call by the Chambers of Commerce of Ireland for the introduction of a site value tax, I have received no formal proposal from the CCI in this regard. My predecessor appointed Indecon International Economic Consultants in association with the Institute of Local Government Studies to carry out an independent review of local government funding, which will be completed early next year. I understand that CCI recently held discussions with the consultants and has submitted proposals to them in the context of the study.
