Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 March 2012
214 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Defence further to Parliamentary Question No. 12586/12, if he will comment on the specifics attached (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17078/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs I have previously advised the Deputy, the Local Government (Household Charge) Act 2011 provides the legislative basis for the household charge that applies to residential property. Under the Act, an owner of a residential property is liable to the household charge. Under section 2(2)(b) of the Act, a building vested in a Minister of the Government is not a residential property for the purposes of the Act and is not liable to the household charge.
