Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will deal with the four points made by the Deputy. First, he asked if I would publish a schedule to allow committee members, the Oireachtas and the public to see the distributional consequences and what I proposed to do. I will do so.

Second, on my commitment to ensuring no local authority would lose out as a result of any change, that is my policy objective. I want to ensure that if we are able to move to a model in which some local authorities can keep revenue they raise within their own jurisdiction or parameters, no other local authority will lose out because, as the Deputy knows as he understands how it works, at present through the equalisation fund many local authorities receive floats, the importance of same I realise. I make the point that, given that the Deputy has said he wants to abolish the LPT in its entirety, it would create a massive revenue loss-----
