The key point is the value of the house. People want to live in their houses. Given Revenue's new website, is there not a cavalier attitude to valuations? If the issue is pyrite, radon or an unfinished estate, is it not grossly unfair to be treated the same as an unaffected house? For example, the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Hogan, published SI 91 on unfinished estates. In the whole of the four Dublin local authority areas, he categorised just a single estate as being exempted from the property tax, namely, Priory Hall.

Many of the Minister's Deputies, who were sitting behind him until a few minutes ago, are very disappointed that the property tax grotesquely impinges on the east Leinster area.
