Pearse Doherty (Donegal South West, Sinn Fein)

I would appreciate if the Tánaiste did not misquote me but I may have the opportunity to correct the record at a later stage. Can the Tánaiste outline when the new site valuation tax legislation will be before the House? Following the statement from the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government that council officials will call to houses, the Garda Síochána reports that the opportunity is being used by criminals. Perhaps the Tánaiste can take this opportunity to say that no council official or individual on behalf of the State will seek €100 from any person.
