- Finance (No. 2) Bill 2008: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (17 Dec 2008)
Joan Burton: I ask the Minister about section 380R(6), which provides that the market value of the whole or part of establishment land means the price that whole or part might reasonably be expected to fetch on a sale on the open market if the old installation was removed.
