Coffey calls on Minister to ease burden on businesses for re-valued rates
Fine Gael Waterford Deputy, Paudie Coffey, has called on the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government, Phil Hogan TD, to use powers under the Valuation Act 2001 to limit the amount that rates can be increased for businesses in Waterford. Deputy Coffey was speaking following the revaluation process that has been completed in Waterford City, Waterford County and Dungarvan, that has led to massive rates increases for certain businesses, in particular in the retail sector.
