I am missing Mr. O'Sullivan's point. His office has returned some €1.5 million to the Department but it is not getting through the revaluation at a fast pace. Some businesses in certain categories want a clear reason why they have experienced a 400% increase yet businesses in other counties may have to wait almost a decade for an increase, which is of particular relevance against the current economic backdrop. It does not appear that Mr. O'Sullivan is trying to push this forward, recognise that a huge injustice is being done to businesses in certain areas, and demand the necessary resources from the Department. Is he knocking down the Department's door to highlight the unfairness in this regard? The issue I am raising is that the Valuation Office has returned money to the Department.
