East Clare Councillor Insists 'Budget Had To Be Balance' As Property Tax Rate Remains Unchanged
An East Clare Councillor insists balancing the local authority's budget had to take priority ahead of a reduction in the rate of property tax for next year. Homeowners in this county face the prospect of paying 15 percent above the standard rate of the tax for both 2023 and 2024. Fianna Fáil Councillor from Maghera Pat Hayes and Independent Councillor from Shannon Gerry Flynn have been speaking with Clare FM's Morning Focus about the tax.
