Fingal rates cut a ‘glimmer of hope’

Dublin: Fingal’s pro-jobs proposal to reduce commercial rates by 10% should be followed by the capital’s three other local authorities, says Dublin Chamber of Commerce.

Gina Quin, Dublin Chamber chief executive, said: “The proposal by the Fingal county manager to reduce commercial rates by 10% offers a glimmer of hope to struggling businesses in north Co Dublin. The three other managers in Co Dublin must give the same opportunity for survival to businesses in their area.
