I thank the Minister of State for his very detailed response. I am glad that he has clarified matters, particularly in respect of the market value of properties. I was contacted by a number of people to whom letters were furnished by Revenue in which it was indicated that their homes were valued at €140,000, whereas properties in the estates in which they live recently sold for €80,000. It is good that the position in this regard has now been clarified. That will be of some benefit to the people in the constituency in which I reside who raised this matter with me.
