That risk would be there if we took such action.

In response to Deputy Broughan, I am aware of the work of the parliamentary body on the future of LPT. I am also aware of the debate in the Committee on Budgetary Oversight afterwards where it proved very difficult to find consensus on what the new tax model should be. Some members of the committee said we should move to floor-area basis where the tax yield is determined by the size of the property; other members disagreed. Some members said we should continue to have it based on value and other members of the committee disagreed with that. A debate is under way in the committee on that very point.
