The Estimates reference €520 million from the local property tax fund. I am unsure whether it is the method I would have use to raise the local property tax, but many properties are paying no local property tax and there is unfairness to that. When will the review come? The issue is around the rebalancing or redistribution of rates outside the larger local authorities, outside Dublin essentially - let us be honest about it. The Minister might comment on that.
