To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government when he will, for the purposes of Section 10 (3) of the Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2013, prescribe a list of developments in the State, being developments each of which that Minister is satisfied is incomplete to a substantial extent; the way the criteria will be interpreted; in particular, the circumstance (d) listed in Section 10 (4), the extent to which the development complies with the terms of any planning permission applicable to it; if, for example, the developer of an estate was found to owe the council development contributions attached as a condition of planning permission, would that constitute the development not being in compliance with the terms of planning permission and would it be sufficient for the development to be listed on the list detailed in Section 10 (3).

I propose to take Questions Nos. 163 and 172 together.

The list of unfinished housing estates to be prescribed for purposes of a waiver from the local property tax has been compiled by local authorities utilising the categorisation in place in respect of the household charge, updated by reference to the National Housing Survey 2012. My Department has collated the data from local authorities and Minister Hogan has signed the Regulations to prescribe the list of qualifying estates for purposes of exemption from the local property tax.
