Declan Breathnach (Louth, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The Taoiseach knows that valuation orders were signed for the ratings authorities of Cavan, Fingal, Louth, Meath, Monaghan, Tipperary, Wexford and Wicklow county councils this month. Ratepayers are looking for equity and we have the Commercial Rates Bill which has not even gone to pre-legislative scrutiny. Ratepayers in this country are chomping at the bit looking for equity, modernisation and a proper rates system. When will we have a timeline for when this issue will be resolved?
