Public Accounts Committee

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme

9:00 am

Mr. John O'Sullivan:

I will ask my colleague, Mr. Lavelle to go into some of the detail of the valuation methodologies we used. The Deputy made reference to particular sectors. We engaged very closely and specifically with them. One of the stages that is very important is called "representations". That is when we get feedback from the ratepayer after we give them our initial proposed valuation. We put a lot of time and effort into hearing the representations which were made with regard to that and other sectors. Every representation got due consideration, whether it was in retail or any of the other sectors associated with it. That feeds into the adjustments we make on foot of the representations before we publish the final valuations. To give the Deputy a snapshot before I hand over to Mr. Lavelle-----
