Labour hides behind spurious ruling to allow hiking of council rents
Sinn
Fein councillors Larry O Toole and Micheal Mac Donncha were ordered
removed from Dublin City Council after protesting at the ruling out
of order of their party's motion requiring the city manager not to
raise council rents on the basis of the family home tax
Cllrs
O'Toole and MacDonncha said:
“This
ruling reduced Dublin City Council to farce and all to save the
Labour Party from having to vote against our motion to stop rents
being raised on the basis of the family home tax. An identical
motion was ruled in order and adopted at Monaghan County Council.
We
will contine to oppose this unjust tax all along the line.”
