I propose to take Questions Nos. 526, 527, 548, 559, 571 and 591 together.

The Local Government (Household Charge) Regulations 2012 contain the list of unfinished estates to which a waiver from payment of the household charge applies in 2012. The list is also available from www.householdcharge.ie. The relevant circumstances to which I, as Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, must have regard in prescribing the list for the purposes of the unfinished estates waiver are set out in section 4 (5) of the Local Government (Household Charge) Act 2011.
