I would refer the Deputy to PQ 346 of 11th June 2013 when this information (all OPW properties liable for the LPT) was given to this House. As stated previously in this House, the Commissioners of Public Works are engaged in examining the residential property portfolio in terms of State use, disposal on the open market or community use. As this process is ongoing, the value bands associated with each property may be commercially sensitive. The LPT band associated with each residential property can be provided to the Deputy on a case by case basis subject to commercial sensitivity.
