Kerry halves development levies in move to stimulate job creation

IN a bid to assist job creation, development levies payable by industries in Kerry are to be halved.

The county has more than 17,000 on the Live Register and the move by the county council is seen as a stimulus to job creation.

The council’s levy reduction will apply to industrial and manufacturing operations, financial services and other businesses which are grant-aided or supported by the IDA, Enterprise Ireland or local development agencies.
