I welcome the witnesses, for whom I have a few brief questions. On the theme addressed by Deputy Peter Burke, namely, the selection of the authorities, it seems strange that economically vibrant counties such as Cork and Galway have been left behind, if I can phrase it in that way, in the revaluation process and placed in the blue zone. One would have expect these counties to have been a priority alongside Dublin.
