Mr. Watt knows what it is about; it is about self-assessment. It makes changes with regard to appeals and so forth but the real issue is self assessment. I believe we must bring it to a conclusion one way or the other. There are too many Members asking, both inside and outside the Dáil, whether this is going to happen or not. The Government must make a decision whether it is going to introduce this system of self assessment in respect of rates and valuations.
It is something that we have dealt with on this committee and in regard to which the Secretary General has been very helpful.
