Councillor argues central government should fill funding gap following local property tax decision

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Central Government should fill the gap in funding which will arise following a decision not to raise the county property tax.

That's according to Connemara area Councillor Seosamh Ó Cualáin.

At a meeting this week, Galway County Councillors decided to maintain the local property tax at the same level for the coming year by 30 votes to 6.

Councillor Ó Cualáin says the county is the second worst nationwide for funding per head of population.
