Public Accounts Committee

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme

9:00 am

Mr. John O'Sullivan:

No. What has happened is that an external report was done which identified the need to do this. The need for this kind of functionality is just one of the recommendations in the report. There are systems out there that we would have to procure. Procurement, after we go to the market, typically takes six months. We hope to have this in place before we start the next batch of revaluations, which will be at the end of 2019. We are in train for a number at the moment.

We have significant ICT systems in place but they just do not have that particular costing functionality that we would very much like to have.
