275. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if she will review the level of benefit-in-kind being attributed to an employee of her Department (details supplied) in County Kerry, in view of the possibility that her Department may have considerably over-valued the rental value of the property that she lives in; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I am advised that my Department had an independent professional valuation of the property in question carried out. Following communication with the occupier in relation to the level of benefit-in-kind proposed, a subsequent independent internal appeal was processed, which determined that the original decision of my Department was reasonable and should stand.
