This Council acknowledges the significant financing issues arising from the loss of commercial rates and other revenues due to the Covid19 emergency. We note the Government’s announcement of a three-month rates waiver for affected sectors of the economy and the commitment to provide local authorities with an additional €260m to cover this shortfall. However, we do not believe that a three-month waiver or the funding provided will fill the growing financial deficit that Local authorities are accruing due to Covid19. We call on the Government to give a clear commitment to ensure that Local Authorities will not experience any loss in revenue arising from the inability of businesses to pay commercial rates or from the loss of any other revenue source such as car parking, council rents or other charges. We also believe that the initial round of funding announced be provided to Councils as a matter of urgency. We further call on government to state that they will fully fund any extension of the commercial rates waiver and any other revenue shortfall. This Council resolves that there must be no loss of staff or reduction in front line services arising from the Covid19 restrictions and instructs the Manager to write to the Taoiseach, Minister for Finance and Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government to communicate the view of the members as expressed in this motion.
