City council in chaos as Labour members vow to reject rent hike plans

Labour Party members on Cork City Council have vowed to reject any rent hike proposals in the council’s December budget.

The party announced its position yesterday, casting into chaos the pact arrangement between Fine Gael, Labour, and Fianna Fáil which is required to pass the annual budget.

With Fianna Fáil expected to vote against the budget as it did last year, Labour’s objections leaves Fine Gael isolated.
