I thank the Deputy. The answer I have to hand goes through the structure of the local property tax, which Deputy Timmins already knows. I will not take him through that. The issue to which he referred is about the interplay between the amount of revenue a local authority raises in its own jurisdiction and the equalisation fund. I have tried in the various revaluations in which I have been involved - I have now done two - to get to a place where local authorities control and keep more of the revenue they raise. I know there are still policy issues in this regard and areas in which we can improve. I am sure the Deputy will give me his view on those now.
