Cork City property tax cut by 10%

The local property tax rate in Cork City was cut by 10% last night.

It followed a three-hour meeting of Cork City Council during which Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael voted together with two independents, Kieran McCarthy and Mick Finn, to support the Fianna Fáil-proposed reduction.

Fine Gael claimed afterwards that the vote will cost the city €600,000.
