Sligo County Council has voted to increase the Local Property Tax for the upcoming year. 

The move is said to be in response to the overall cost of living crisis and the need for increased funding to deliver local services. 

The rise has been deemed minimal overall, working out at 79 cent more per month for the majority of households in County Sligo, rising to €1.96 per month for bigger dwellings. 

The Council say it’s not in the business of presenting budgets that aren’t realistic and money needs to be sought from somewhere. 

A number of Cllrs have however voiced their opposition to the  increase, including Sinn Fein Cllr Arthur Gibbons:
