It’s claimed that funnelling millions of euro in income tax collected by Clare County Council to central Government is “ridiculous”.
So far this year alone, €10 million has been collected in Local Property Tax, €6.5 million came from motor tax and €33 million from commercial rates.
With property tax alone, €2 million of that is sent from Clare to boost the government’s coffers.
