Funding allocations and expenditure of the Valuation Tribunal in respect of the years 2009 to 2012 (to date) are set out in the table below. Between 2009 and 2010 savings were achieved in the categories of Members' Fees and Members' Travel and Subsistence as a result of procedural changes at the Tribunal. The significantly increased figures in all expenditure categories in respect of 2011 arise from the Tribunal's handling of an additional 302 valuation appeals in respect of the revaluation of properties in the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Rating Authority Area. These additional appeals represent an increase in the Tribunal's annual workload of approximately 230%.
