Little Island Business Association demands fair share of rate spend

New information released by Cork County Council supports claims by a major business association that it pays vast amounts of rates, but has got little or nothing back over the years to improve its creaking infrastructure.

Little Island Business Association (LIBA) has maintained it is getting “no bang for its buck” when it comes to infrastructure improvements in what is one of the biggest industrial and commercial powerhouses in the country.

On foot of requests from Cllr Pádraig O’Sullivan, the county council released information about the amount of rates paid in the general area.
