Local authority tenants urged not to pay €103 boiler maintenance tax

A politician has urged local authority tenants in Cork City not to pay a new boiler tax.

Socialist Party Cllr Mick Barry, a prominent figure in the Cork campaign against property and water taxes, was criticised for his stance.

“Cork City Council is legally obliged to service these boilers whether the tax is paid or not. I would urge our tenants to ‘take note’ of this,” he said.
