Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Phil Hogan)

An independently-chaired Inter-Departmental Expert Group was established to consider the structures and modalities for an equitable valuation-based property tax. The Group has recently completed its work and submitted its report to me. The approach to the report will be considered by the Government in due course.
