FG Submit Motion Proposing 15% Cut In Property Tax

Fine Gael has submitted a motion proposing a maximum 15% cut in the Local Property Tax rate for 2015.

Each local authority has the power to vary the tax within its area up or down on an annual basis by a maximum of 15%, and the Fine Gael Councillors are supporting a full 15% cut in the city for 2015.


"As Fine Gael candidates we campaigned in the Local Elections on the basis of introducing a 15% cut to the local property tax in the City of Dublin, and we are now keeping this promise. We are calling on all Councillors and all parties to support our motion on Monday night, and to support this constructive budgetary measure," said Cllr Kieran Binchy, Fine Gael Group Leader, Dublin City Council.
