Ms Lorraine O'Donoghue:

We discussed the matter in this forum on a number of occasions. We have been stymied somewhat by the timing of the local property tax revaluation process but in anticipation of the question from the Deputy, I received an update from the Revenue Commissioners yesterday evening. As of yet we have not commenced our review of the baselines because we do not have the data on the local property tax receipts per local authority basis from the Revenue Commissioners. We made a commitment in writing to individual local authorities and it has also been put in the local property tax circulars that issued for 2022 that we intend to review the local property tax baseline model as soon as we have the available data.
