To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government further to Parliamentary Question No. 143 of 13 February 2013, if he will acknowledge that an estate (details supplied) in County Westmeath was in fact placed on the unfinished housing list under category three which the council submitted last year; the reason it was then categorised as finished; and if he will commit to ensuring that this mistake is rectified as soon as possible. [9009/13]

I refer to the reply to Question No. 143 of 13 February 2013. Coill Rua estate was originally named Green Park West but subsequently renamed to differentiate it from Green Park Meadows. In compiling the list of estates for the National Housing Survey 2011, Coill Rua was identified as Green Park Meadows, which was the name entered on the prescribed list. There is no appeals procedure and no facility to amend the list once it has been prescribed. Consideration of the categorisation of this development will again arise in the context of the prescribed list for purposes of the waiver from the local property tax.
