There will be
Cork County Council Call For Fair Deal Property Tax
by SEAMUS WHELEHAN
tates yet
Residents living in es- to be taken in
charge by local authorities could soon pay less prop- erty tax than those living in estates
controlled this week by
County Councils. Cork County Council requested
the
government to reduce lo- cal property tax for estates who maintain their own developments. The move comes fol-
lowing a motion tabled by Councillor Marcia Dalton. The independent
Cllr
told full council on Mon- day 12 December that the

local property tax should be fair and equitable. She said private housing
estates or estates not taken in charge by the local au- thority should have their local property tax reduced by 35%. Cllr Dalton stated res- idents living in uncon- trolled estates have to put funds aside to carry out the essential services the local authority would normally undertake in residential estates. “They pay their local
property tax to have the services delivered. They then have to pay a contrac- tor to actually carry them out.”
Councillor Timmy Col-
lins said “these people are paying the same tax as everybody else. They are surely entitled to the same service.”
Councillor Kevin Con-
way said he was aware of one estate built over 30 years which had still not been taken in charge. He said “they get abso-
lutely no facilities of any kind, even down grit. The estate is built on a hill and they can’t get out in the winter because they don’t have the facility. Cork County Council don’t take responsibility.” He said by backing Cllr Dalton’s motion he hoped

it would quicken the pro- cess of taking estates
in
charge. Sinn Fein had tabled an amendment where by all property owners should re- ceive a 35% reduction. The amendment was
defeated 30 votes to 8. Cllr
Dalton said she
appreciated Sinn Fein’s stance on the property tax, however she wanted the current system to be fair. Council CEO
Tim
Lucey said the authority did not have the power to reduce the rate
of local
property tax. He said it was a decision which need- ed to be taken at national level.
