It is "disappointing" that Cork County Council is falling behind business payments, Enterprise Minister Peter Burke has told the Seanad.

Cork County Council was last month among a number of local authorities that were criticised by Enterprise Minister Peter Burke for the speed of its payments under the Increased Cost of Business (ICOB) grant.
