Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The outcome of Dr. Thornhill's review has been presented to me in report form and is currently being considered and will be published on budget day, in two weeks' time. I will outline my response to this very important issue on budget day.

Any resolution to the pyrite issues may necessitate a change in the relevant provisions of the Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012, as amended, and-or the Finance (Local Property Tax) (Pyrite Exemption) Regulations 2013. If legislative change is required, then I will examine the possibilities for its advance application on an administrative basis with the Revenue Commissioners.
