Local Government (Charges) Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed)
8:00 pm
Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)
I have made my position on this matter clear. The Minister cannot accede to my request. The Bill provides, "A county council shall, each year," which means that every year it must make a return to a rating town council within its administrative area. This does not apply to the former town commission county councils as I understand the Bill. The rate struck by the former town commissions is a statutory demand on the county and is quite different from the rating town councils.
