Vote 15 - Valuation Office (18 Jul 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: I have not been here for all of the meeting. Therefore, I may be going over ground already covered, but when Mr. O'Sullivan says in his presentation that this landmark - he was referring to Waterford and Dublin - will increase the commercial revaluations in monetary terms to over 50%, does he mean that the overall valuation of the properties involved will increase in monetary terms by 50%?

Vote 15 - Valuation Office (18 Jul 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: To follow up on a variation of Deputy Deasy's point, how many of the properties the office has revalued to date have increased in value?

Vote 15 - Valuation Office (18 Jul 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: In the case of some businesses, particularly small businesses - obviously, I want to ask Mr. Lavelle about the position in Limerick because I am interested in what is happening there - rates as a percentage of their overall costs are higher than rents because of the way things have progressed. Rents have dropped, but rates are the key factor for many of them in making a business decision....

Kieran O'Donnell: I wish to comment on what Deputy Deasy said. When Matthew Elderfield came before the PAC, in my opinion he came specifically to make the point on white-collar crime and the lack of support on that. Taking on board what Deputy Deasy has said, there is a strong argument for considering the issue as a stand alone matter. Mr. Elderfield put huge emphasis on the matter on the day he came before...
