A Fianna Fail Cllr. is expressing outrage at the proposed cut in budget for North Tipp County Council due to the failure to collect the household charge.
Minister Hogan has written to all County Managers to announce that he is cutting their budgets by between 5% and 15%, depending on the success of the household charge collection in the county.
FF Cllr. John Carroll claims the Environment Minister Phil Hogan is punishing North and South Tipperary County Councils and local authorities around the country for the chaos he created over the household charge.
He said this development will lead to serious funding problems in local services here in Tipperary.
Cllr. Carroll insists It was never the job of local authorities to manage the roll out of the household charge and it is deeply unfair to punish them for Minister Hogan’s mess.
