Local property tax Bill
Deputy Gerry Adams asks when the local property tax Bill will be published and debated; the Taoiseach expects publication on Thursday, subject to confirmation.
Tá mé ag cur ceiste faoi reachtaíocht atá fógraithe. Can the Taoiseach confirm when the finance (local property tax) Bill will be published? This is the Bill that Fianna Fáil was committed to bringing in after it signed up with the troika and to which it now says it is opposed. When will it be published and when will it be debated in the Dáil?
Comment on this
The Minister will outline the details. As I understand it - if I am incorrect on this, I will advise the Deputy further - the finance (local property tax) Bill will be published on Thursday. Obviously, the announcement will be made tomorrow by the Minister for Finance. If that is not absolutely accurate, I will have it transmitted to the Deputy.
