Deputy Dara Murphy raised the issue of flooding and flood relief works. The value may rise considerably after relief works are carried out. However, if value was previously self-assessed honestly, there will be no comeback from the Revenue. There will be no retroaction activity by the Revenue on this. Indeed, values determined now will be valid until 2016. If one's flooding problem is remediated in September next and the value of one's home rises, the value at which one has self-assessed will prevail until the next valuation date of 2016. That is an important point to clarify.

Deputy Mattie McGrath talked about a couple of issues. He made many points. He talked about the colour of people's shirts.
