Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank Deputy Coffey for raising the matter. I got it very much on the ground when I was coming back from Waterford last weekend when I stopped at a bike shop in Dungarvan and I was met by the owner. I was innocently buying something for my bike and he made some strong comments about a recent letter he had received on rates.

The Valuation (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill is currently on Committee Stage in the Seanad. Amendments are being worked on and it is hoped that the Bill will be completed in the Seanad by the end of this session and we will see it in this House in the autumn. The Bill must go through the Seanad process first and then it will come into the Dáil.
