§ MR. JAMES O'CONNOR (Wicklow, W.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the valuation of the licensed premises occupied by Mrs. Lowe, Kiltegan, County Wicklow, has been raised without giving Mrs. Lowe notice in time to allow of her entering an appeal; and, if so, whether he will take steps to provide, by legislation or otherwise, that the Commissioners of Valuation in Dublin shall not increase the valuation of licensed premise, without giving due notice to the occupier.
(Answered by Mr. Atkinson.) Mrs. Lowe received the same notice that all ratepayers do under the Valuation Acts in similar cases. The revised valuation lists were issued to the County Council on 1st April, and were then published by the Council in the manner prescribed 680 by statute. Mrs. Lowe had twenty-seven days within which to appeal. No legislation, as suggested, is called for.
