The Minister has accepted Deputy Coffey's suggestions in good faith and responded to them. Deputy Coffey's suggestion that the Minister, Deputy Howlin, be asked to appear before the committee is a good one. There are difficulties with regard to the revaluation in Waterford and Dublin. Many other parts of the country have not been touched. This committee could investigate why this might be the case, following which we could make recommendations to the Minister.
