View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 116 to 118, inclusive, together.
The 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. These properties include Áras an Uachtaráin, Farmleigh and Ardilaun Lodge in St. Stephen's Green. The list is now substantially complete and property values are being assigned to these properties by the Valuation Service of the OPW. The specific valuations requested by the Deputy are not yet to hand but it is anticipated that the return will be made to the Revenue Commissioners in advance of the deadline on 28th May. The valuations referred to by the Deputy will be made available in due course.
