I am looking for clarification from the Minister on amendment No. 49. If it cannot be proved that a house has a certain level of pyrite - that it is at level one rather than level two - is this the reason the Minister does not wish it to get through the net and to avail of the exemption from the local property tax? Is my understanding correct? If this is the argument, I would counter-argue that given that the rating of one is not as bad as two and major works may not be necessary, the Minister would acknowledge that the owner's chances of selling the house at a fair price are around zero because of the level one rating.
