I support the comments made by Senator Denis Landy on the shared ownership scheme. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but there are difficulties that need to be addressed urgently.

A number of weeks ago I mentioned difficulties for PAYE workers in receiving rebates from the Revenue Commissioners that had been due since the end of last year. The source of the difficulty is a problem with the computer system within the Revenue Commissioners. There does not seem to be a difficulty in the Revenue Commissioners when in October and November people have to pay tax, but there is a difficulty when the Revenue Commissioners are due to issue rebates to which PAYE workers are legally entitled. I ask the Leader to examine this matter to see if the difficulty can be rectified. While he is doing this, perhaps he might ensure that when the Revenue Commissioners send property tax notifications and evaluations, they will not be delayed in getting to Meath East in the coming weeks.
