View answerAs you are aware, the Private Members' Valuation Bill 2014 had its Second Stage debate in the Dáil last Friday, 4 July 2014 and the Bill was referred, for Committee Stage, to the Select Sub-Committee on Public Expenditure and Reform. Minister of State Paul Kehoe responded to the Bill on my behalf. The Bill was not opposed by the Government but technical, competition and other issues were highlighted which will have to be addressed at Committee Stage if the Bill is to progress. The full text of the debate, including the speech setting out the issues that need to be addressed, is available on the Oireachtas website at http://oireachtasdebates.oireachtas.ie/debates%20authoring/debateswebpack.nsf/takes/dail2014070400003?opendocument#A00300.
