Es tab l i shment of Valuat ion Tr ibunal and
Appo i n tment of Commi ss i oner of Valuat ion
The Minister for Finance on 25 th
July 1988 announced the estab-
lishment by Ministerial Order of the
Valuation Tribunal provided for
under the Valuation Act 1988.
The main purpose of the Tribunal
is to hear appeals against the
decisions of the Commissioner of
Valuation in relation to the rateable
valuation of property. The Tribunal
replaces the Circuit Court hearings
in relation to these appeals.
The members of the Tribunal are:
Chairman:
Mr. Hugh 0'Flaherty
S.C., D u b l i n;
Vice-Chairman:
M s.
Mary Devins, Solicitor, Sligo;
Vice-
Chairman:
Mr. Paul Butler BL„
Dublin;
Member:
Mr. Brian O'Farrell,
Dublin. Further appointments to the
Tribunal will be made at a later date.
Ap a r t f r om cases already
appealed to the Circuit Court,
appeals against the Commi s-
sioner's determinations will hence-
forth be lodged w i th the Tribunal
and not w i th the Circuit Court
(1988 Act, Section 3(5)). The
Notice of Appeal must go direct to
the Tribunal and not through the
local authority.
A fee in accordance w i th the
scale below must be paid in respect
of each appeal to the Tribunal. It
will no longer be necesary to enter
into a recognisance.
Each rating authority is required
by section 21 of the Valuation
(Ireland) Act 1852 to give public
notice of the receipt of the appeal
decisions of the availability of
Valuation Lists for inspection. The
relevant notices should have been
published during the period 27 - 29
July in the newspapers circulating
in your area.
The appeal fee, which should be
made payable to the Registrar,
Valuation Tribunal, is as follows:
