Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme (25 Jan 2018) Catherine Murphy: It is five years since the announcement of the merger. It seems logical to merge the Valuation Office, the Property Registration Authority and Ordnance Survey Ireland. Some of the mergers were not that logical. Is that impacting on the office's own resources in respect of staff? Why is it taking so long? Is it dependent on legislation?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme (25 Jan 2018) Catherine Murphy: The Comptroller and Auditor General has given us a pretty graphic description of some of the changes. Limerick was used as an example. Supposing there is a big revision in the middle, not a revaluation where it is possible to control its neutrality. If there was a revision in respect of one or two big entities and there is no buoyancy, one would not have such neutrality. Are there...

Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme (25 Jan 2018) Catherine Murphy: The map is quite extraordinary. There is nothing as graphic as a map like this to show how we are moving to the west. After the obvious ones in which there has been large growth such as Dublin and its surrounding counties, I would have thought that Galway and Cork would have been the next two on the office's target. I am surprised at the way the process of conducting valuations is...

Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme (25 Jan 2018) Catherine Murphy: Under statute, the Valuation Office is required to have an ongoing process of revaluation. Is the future-proofing of the revaluation work captured in the staff complement that is recruited?

Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme (25 Jan 2018) Catherine Murphy: Institution memory is not retained when outsourcing occurs. I presume that outsourcing might happen occasionally but it should not be the pattern.

Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme (25 Jan 2018) Catherine Murphy: I have visited the Valuation Office in the Irish Life mall to buy maps and look at the council valuation books, which I understand have now been transferred to the National Archives. That generated an income but obviously there was a cost to facilitate it. Where does the matter stand at this stage?

Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme (25 Jan 2018) Catherine Murphy: When I first looked at the Griffith's valuations, I thought Ireland was one of the most industrious countries because every house had an office. However, I then discovered that the "office" was the toilet. It was quite extraordinary.
- Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Jan 2018)
Catherine Murphy: I would not disagree with some of the points that have been made. Regarding amendment No. 74, perhaps the Minister of State might clarify the arrangements because there is no doubt that it is very hit and miss. In most cases, if someone wants to put in an objection, they pay €20 and are treated in exactly the same way as anyone else who wants to do that. My understanding was that,...
- Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Jan 2018)
Catherine Murphy: I ask the Minister of State to clarify. Strategic plans are lodged with An Bord Pleanála directly and not with the local authority. If it is appealed, the local authority will be dealing with the modifications. I presume this provision applies to that as well as when it is dealing with the planning applications directly.
