Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme (25 Jan 2018)

Peter Burke: That will give no solace to a business faced with a big increase during a recessionary period while businesses in other counties receive no increase. The matrix provided indicates that businesses in several counties will not be revalued until 2021. Some might consider such businesses lucky.

Peter Burke: I am trying to highlight how much things have changed since 2014. I am not clear about the selection process because as regards the quantity of businesses, a huge amount of money is tied up in Cork city rateable valuations. As regards geographical reasons for selection, the matrix shows that some neighbouring counties have not been revalued and are getting a pass, with Wicklow not to be...

Peter Burke: A business may find it unsatisfactory or unfair. As regards Mr. O'Sullivan not being prepared to say the Valuation Office operates efficiently, is the €41 million referenced by the Comptroller and Auditor General as having been spent by the office on this process to the end of 2016 reflective of the phase 1 valuation of south Dublin, Fingal, Dún Laoghaire, Dublin city, Waterford,...

Peter Burke: If someone is doing the numbers, in the case of outsourcing in Carlow, the cost appears to be approximately €535 per property. The Comptroller and Auditor General has done the work on the total cost involved. Based on this figure, it appears that the figure of €41 million will be significantly exceeded. Does Mr. O'Sullivan agree?

The core of activity based costing is giving a result in terms of how much something cost. If the Department cannot figure out the cost of a revaluation or other work associated with it, it is very difficult to have confidence in the figure Mr. O'Sullivan has provided.
