I welcome Ms Tallon, Ms Burke and their officials. I will begin by addressing questions to Ms Tallon.

The local property tax kicks in on 1 July and becomes a new funding method for the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. The Department was charged with introducing and collecting the household charge for the past year. May I have an update on the levels of payment and the preparations being made by it to hand over responsibility for the charge to the Revenue Commissioners?
