Finance bill to have double blow for Limerick City
If the cut in City Council funding by €800,000 wasn’t bad enough for the businesses in the City Centre to deal with, they will now have a €200 per anum, per parking space levy to contend with.
And with all their talk of leading any example and taking a pay cut, the Government have made themselves exempt from the parking tax.
It was initially planned to introduce the parking levy in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford Cities in January, but it is said to be pushed back to April.
There is some good news in the finance bill though. The emigration tax has been modified so that only a €2 levy on flights from all Irish Airports to destinations within 300km of Dublin Airport. Flights to destinations greater than 300km from Dublin Airport will still incur the €10 levy.
