Valuation Bill progress

Summary

Deputy Martin Heydon asks about progress on the Valuation Bill and changes to commercial valuation and rates. The Taoiseach says it is at Seanad Committee Stage and may not pass both Houses until the next session.

On promised legislation, what progress has been made on the Valuation Bill in terms of the need to address the valuation process in light of the difficulties businesses are under, the changes regarding the town councils and the change in respect of harmonising rates?

That is an important Bill, which is on Committee Stage in the Seanad. There are quite a number of amendments to it on which some legal work has been done. I assume, given where we are this week, that it will be the next session before it is passed by both Dáil and Seanad.
