Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Valuation Tribunal: Chairperson Designate

9:00 am

Ms Carol O'Farrell:

No. As I said, the tribunal is essentially established for the purpose of hearing appeals from determinations of local authorities in regard to the market value of derelict sites. Beyond that, we are an appellate body established by statute and, therefore, we are bound by the provisions of the Act and we cannot enlarge or add to our jurisdiction.
