The are requirements with regard to public procurement but there are ceilings that one has to pass before the requirements come into play. I regard this as ongoing work. This person did some work previously. I think it was the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government that retained him originally. As he has some expertise in the area and has thought about it, I simply asked him whether he would review how the property tax is working out and whether there are any changes he thinks would be worth making. It is an issue. The Deputy has raised it a number of times and Deputy Michael McGrath has also raised it. We will see what he comes up with. If there is any cost arising, we will make a full disclosure.
