Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

This is linked to the appeals process and the original valuation. We are trying to strike a balance between the three processes so that if a mistake is made on the original valuation it will be picked up on during the appeal and if not picked on then will go through the arbitration system, which will come up with a fair valuation. To accept an amendment on one without knowing what we are going to do in respect of the other two would not be too smart on my part. I appeal to the Senator to withdraw the amendment until I have looked at the matter again. If the Senator has further suggestions he could perhaps withdraw the amendment now with a view to resubmit it for Report Stage, when we can look at it in the context of the new wording I will put together.
