asked the Minister for Finance the total (a) domestic (b) commercial and industrial (c) agricultural rateable valuation in each rating authority; the last date on which a general revision of valuations was carried out in each authority's area; and whether valuations have been raised on domestic property constructed since the abolition of domestic rates.
Written Answers. - Rateable Valuations.
47.
I am informed by the Commissioner of Valuation that separate figures of total valuation of the categories mentioned at (a), (b) and (c) are not available as such statistics are not compiled by that office for any official purpose. The information requested could not be made available without an altogether disproportionate expenditure of staff and time to extract it from the records.
The commissioner has informed me that areas where revaluations or general revisions have taken place are:-
|
Dublin County Borough |
1908-1915 |
|
Waterford County Borough |
1924-1926 |
|
Galway Borough |
|
|
UD Ballinasloe, and the electoral divisions of Clifden Gort & Tuam Urban |
1946-1950 |
|
Buncrana Urban District |
1950 |
Domestic property constructed since the introduction of relief from domestic rates and which local authorities have included in their annual requests for revision of valuation have been valued.
