If that is the case, I will ask Ms Tallon a question. The Valuation (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2012 was introduced in the Seanad last year. That Bill completely changes the system of assessment in this country when it comes to commercial rates on properties. It moves to a system of self-assessment. Can Ms Tallon tell me what input her Department had in that piece of legislation? If Mr. Lavery wants to answer that question, he can.
