Ms Josephine Feehily:

We are currently in discussions. An interdepartmental group has examined all aspects of this issue. The group included the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. We have met some of the local authorities as well. We need to put modalities in place because it does not make sense. We have to work out with the local authorities how we will manage that relationship. It would make sense for them as well. The Bill proposes changes in that category of housing. Such houses will be taxable at a flat rate, the lowest rate. The ideal for us would be to get a list and a single amount of money.
