andMrs. Burke asked the Minister for Local Government if he will indicate the probable overall percentage increase in rates in the coming financial year; and how much of that percentage will be due to health charges.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Rates Figures.
62.
No rating authority has yet submitted to my Department a certified copy of its estimate of expenses for the coming financial year. I am not, therefore, in a position to furnish the information requested.
Has the Minister any idea what the percentage is likely to be?
I have no idea but a decision will be made shortly on this point by the Government.
