Waterford Council face ‘difficulties’ with budget
Waterford Council officials are seeking a meeting with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Environment Minister Eoghan Murphy and Finance Minister Pascal Donoghue after commercial rates alterations measures introduced by the government left the local authority with an estimated €3.3m revenue shortfall.
The shortage has occurred after the government re-introduced commercial rates on Irish Water under the 2017 Water Services Act.
