Do I look like Denis? I ask the Taoiseach the Government's plans for bringing forward the legislation on the local property tax. When does the Government intend to bring the new homes currently exempt from local property tax into the system? Will he give the date that this legislation will be brought forward?

The Minister for Finance has indicated that he is giving that further consideration. It is being pushed out to next year. A lot of work has to be done yet in respect of that issue. That is the current status. We are looking to next year before anything happens in that respect.
