We will see. The property tax has been put on the legislative list by Government. The Thornhill report has been with the Minister for some time. He will come to Cabinet with his recommendations and the Cabinet will then make a decision. The tax will apply from 1 July 2013 and people will contribute on the basis of a half yearly charge from 1 July 2013. The decision was taken to transfer the tax to the Revenue Commissioners for the design of the structure and mechanics of collection. There will be a full debate on this when Government has decided on the nature and scale of the tax to be introduced.

On a point of order, I am entitled as a Member of this House to get a response to a question.

The Deputy is entitled to a response if he is in order. We are dealing with promised legislation and the Taoiseach has answered the question.

I have the question written down here.

Then the Deputy should submit a written parliamentary question.

No, with respect. I asked when the Bill included in the legislative programme will be published and I did not get an answer from the Taoiseach. It is a simple question and he has not answered it, just as he did not answer the other question about the letter sent to the gardener who spoke out about legislation that went through this House.

The Minister for Finance has already outlined that it will be introduced on budget day so it will be towards the end of the session.
