Ms Josephine Feehily:

We were conscious from the very beginning of the need to have as much information as possible available about the logistics and administration of the local property tax. The rest of it is not my business. As soon as this was announced on budget night, we had extensive frequently asked questions, FAQs, available on our website. We have updated those throughout January and then last week we published a booklet on the website. The booklet members have is dated 31 January and because there were amendments to it, there will be another version. We have published the form for the return so people can look at what they must do.
