When will we have the promised valuation Bill? We have a serious problem with regard to sporting and voluntary groups which place small bars in facilities and find it very difficult to pay rates. In my area the rates amount to €22,500 a year. These groups have no problem paying rates, but because many of these premises have bars, they are being rated-----

What about the publicans across the road?

We can discuss this when the Bill comes before the House.

-----on their courts, showers and the entire area. They have no problem if they are evaluated on the bar itself but not on the entire area. It is ludicrous and many fine facilities built during the Celtic tiger throughout the country are being closed.

The Valuation (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill is on Committee Stage in the Seanad. I hope it will move through this fairly quickly.

It will come to the Dáil shortly.

I will raise this as a Topical Issue matter.

I think the Deputy has raised the issue strongly enough this morning. He does not need a Topical Issue matter.
