What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Councillors in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown and Fingal voted to retain the Local Property Tax (LPT) rate at 2026 levels, resulting in no increase for homeowners next year. The majority of councillors supported motions put forward by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael to implement a full 15 per cent rate reduction, which passed by a vote of 27 to 12. This move was against the recommendation of the council’s executive, which had suggested a 7.5 per cent cut to help maintain services.

Why it matters

The 15 per cent reduction represents a €10.4 million loss to the council, according to the council chief executive. While the cut provides relief to local homeowners, the reduction in revenue may lead to a reduction in council services, as noted by the chief executive.
