I would like to ask about farm buildings, which Ms Brennan mentioned, and the Valuation Act 2001. There has been a significant change in profile in how local authorities have dealt with this issue They have looked particularly on the potato industry and they have farmed down who these issues are. Has a test case gone to the Revenue Commissioners yet on this? Have we gone as far as explaining to the Revenue Commissioners, in a test-case scenario, what Ms Brennan correctly stated a while ago? From my understanding in Cork, in my location every potato producer has been hit during the past 18 months. A test case is needed. Have we looked into the possibility of doing such a test case?
