Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael)

I thank the Ceann Comhairle's office for confirming that a question about a statutory instrument, which I asked in this House last week or the week before, was in order. It has since been answered. I would like to ask the Tánaiste about a Fingal County Council regulation, limiting the rate on valuation, which has been passed by means of statutory instrument. Under the relevant Act, which dates from 2005 or 2006, statutory instruments have been introduced in respect of the rates on valuation of two local authorities. I am sure the Tánaiste understands the importance of this matter for businesses and rate payers.
