While canvassing prior to the local elections last year it became clear to me that many people who live in gated or private estates, felt that it was extremely unfair that they pay the same rate of Property Tax (0.18%) despite the fact that the estate that they live in is not maintained (or taken in charge) by Fingal Co Council. For this reason I have introduced a motion at a full meeting of Fingal Co council calling for the introduction of a property tax discount for those paying management fees. I have also held meetings with Paudie Coffey, Minister for Housing to discuss this issue and I am reasonably confident that a satisfactory solution will be reached, either at council or governmental level to address this unfair situation. I will update constituents on this website with any new information as this develops.
