We are past debates. Essentially, I do not see why we should be divided on this issue. The Leader might clarify the matter. The commitment to a property tax is a commitment that the current Government inherited from its predecessor. I hate to see people opposing a measure they introduced themselves. I tried to make this point yesterday but want to reinforce it today. There should not be any confusion on this matter. Information is widespread. Since yesterday, we have the relevant information on the www.revenue.ie website, and there is a property price register. There are so many different ways of checking what a property is worth that there can be no doubt whatsoever. One does not have to accept the listed value as the tax is self-assessed. One will know the trends in one's area and there will be comparative data available.
