Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 May 2013
115. Deputy Kevin Humphreys asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will provide a list in tabular form of all residential properties and address, operated or owned by the Office of Public Works which were liable for the local property tax; the valuation decided on for each property; and the amount of local property tax liable for each; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24523/13]
View answerThe Office of Public Works has engaged in an exercise to identify all the properties in State Portfolio, managed by the Commissioners’ of Public Works, which are liable for the local property tax. Valuation Service is currently engaged in assigning these properties to the appropriate tax band and work will be complete in advance of the Revenue deadline. The Commissioners are not in a position to respond to the Deputy’s request as the valuations would, in some instances, be considered as commercially sensitive. This situation arises as the Commissioners will be disposing of a number of state properties to the market.
