It is regrettable that we are back here again. In February, during questions to the Minister, I highlighted an anomaly in the LPT legislation which means that some property owners whose dwellings have pyrite are not able to avail of the pyrite exemption because of the manner in which the legislation has been constructed. The Minister agreed with me at that time and said that Revenue had what he called an "administrative" solution. Subsequent to that, however, home owners have contacted Revenue only to be told to "shove it". They are not getting an exemption, even though their houses are essentially value less. We need to radically change the legislation.
