Sinn Fein: Extend deadline for property tax views

The deadline for submissions from the public over a reduction in the Local Property Tax (LPT) must be extended say some Cork county councillors.

The ten Sinn Féin councillors on the local authority maintain that the council didn’t do enough to highlight that the public had a right to make submissions on the issue.

By the time the deadline was reached the council, which has autonomy to lower the LPT by 15%, had only received 57 submissions.
