Drop-in clinics to promote the Early Payment Scheme will be erected across Tipp this month.
At this month’s meeting of Tipperary County Council, Head of Finance Information, Liam McGrath, announced the second round of clinics following preliminary figures for 2022 showing an increased take up on the scheme.
In 2022, 38% of customers made savings of €187,991.
He says this will be another opportunity for people to engage with the scheme, particularly those who have not yet taken advantage of it.
Drop-in clinics will be hosted for all five of the municipal districts; more information on locations, dates, and times can be found on our website.
