Chapter 11: National Property Revaluation Programme (25 Jan 2018) Catherine Murphy: We are looking at value for money. What we do not want is the benefit to go to out-of-town multiples that have free car parking, for example. That could undermine or reduce the income that might come to a local authority from a vibrant town centre. I question the methodology. We often hear people saying it is almost a disadvantage to upgrade a premises. Presumably that is something the...

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?

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: 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.
