§ MR. FETHERSTONHAUGHI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland how long it is since the revaluation of the city of Dublin should, according to the statute law, have been undertaken; what is the cause for the delay; can he say when the work will be commenced; and how long is it estimated it should take to complete; and whether he is aware that the ratepayers of Dublin are anxious for the revaluation, except the publicans and brewers whose property is undervalued.
§ MR. MCKENNAUnder Section 60 of the Dublin Corporation Act of 1900, the corporation are deemed to have made application for the revaluation of the city. Delay in commencing the work was due to the prior application of the Belfast Corporation for revaluation of that city, and the legal difficulties which have arisen during the carrying out of the work. The revaluation of Dublin will be commenced when the necessary financial arrangements have been made. I have no information respecting the last 1441 two paragraphs of the hon. Member's Question.
