DCC Vote For Local Property Tax Reduction
Dublin City Council have voted in favour of reducing the Local Property Tax (LPT) by 15%, the maximum reduction allowable by the government.
The council debated the Sinn Féin proposed reduction on Monday night. According to reports, Dublin City Manager, Owen Keegan, had offered his own proposal of a 5% reduction per year for the next three years. Labour had also proposed a small reduction of 7.5%, saying that it feared the impact a reduction would have on services.
However, Sinn Féin Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael all voted in favour of a full reduction.
