A Killarney listener wrote to Jerry about the local property tax, he wrote: “I don’t object to the idea of a property tax, but this tax in its present blunt form is totally immoral and unjust because it takes no account of personal circumstances or ability to pay. I hereby challenge the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste, or any government minister to come on your programme, or on any programme, and say that I am wrong.” Separately, Killarney Municipal District Budget meeting yesterday heard that due to the re-valuation of homes, it’s currently expected that there will be an additional €900,000 allocated to the council from the LPT. Cllr Niall Kelleher made some points about how this additional income should be used.
