An Independent Local Election candidate has promised to fight for a 15 per cent cut in property tax if he wins a seat on Mayo County Council.
Donal Geraghty, who is running in the Castlebar electoral area, said local authorities have the option of increasing or reducing property tax for 2015 by up to 15 per cent.
He is promising to campaign for a full 15 per cent reduction.
“Homeowners, whether they are single, married, or have families, are stretched to the limit of their financial means and the introduction of taxes like the property tax and incoming water rates are a step too far,” said Geraghty.
