The product of such work results in a guy getting a fourfold increase that, potentially, can put him out of business. What frustrates the hell out of me, and I am not picking on the Commissioner, is he will tell me that his job is to do "X". I shall turn to Mr. Lemass in a second and he will tell me that his job is to do "Y". Everyone is going to tell me that this matter has nothing got to do with them, in terms of policy, and it is the responsibility of the Minister. The net result is that the business owner ends up getting screwed time after time.

Let me talk about the fear that exists. The Valuation Office issued letters to people in Meath before Christmas and the fear the letters generated is unbelievable.

I appreciate what the Commissioner has to do in his job. He has said that the office is cognisant of the impact of its work.
