The phrase was non-commercial property and that was included in the Sinn Féin pre-election budget. That being said, when this issue began to develop, I dealt with the consanguinity issue within a matter of days. A number of days after that, as the issue of transitionary mechanisms began to emerge, the Revenue Commissioners, principally, although I tried to play a role in it too, dealt with the different mechanisms that we could provide to deal with the matter. If I can make progress on the matter imminently, I will do it. However, I cannot tell the Deputy when because I do not know if I can do it, but I have approached every other matter and tried to make progress on them in good faith. I will do the same here.
I have now been conclusively informed that I will not be in a position to bring forward a further financial resolution on the matter.
