Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme (25 Jan 2018) Catherine Connolly: I hope that is going ahead in any event. I am trying to examine what I see. It is difficult and onerous for staff to carry out a task when there are not enough of them. I will address the matter of inspections and the job of the valuer again. How many go to inspect the site that they are putting a valuation on?

- 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 Connolly: If I can interrupt Mr. Lavelle, where am I wrong on that? I appreciate he is giving me three clarifications, two of which we are not arguing about, and, we hope, we are not arguing about the third. I am simply seeking elucidation on it. Mr. Lavelle used the figure of 20% for the revaluations - the properties subject to revaluation. Twenty per cent have an on-site manual inspection.
