Government asked to provide a commercial rates break for storm damaged Cork businesses

Cork County Council will be asked to formally endorse an appeal to the Government to provide a commercial rates break to businesses in West Cork which suffered severely in the aftermath of recent storm damage.

Nearly €3m of damage was caused to a number of roads and bridges in the coastal region of West Cork last September.

It led to several communities being cut off with work in some areas just getting underway to restore damaged infrastructure.
