Meanwhile, the business and employers group Ibec has urged Donegal County Council not to increase commercial rates by 5% next year.Ibec says focusing on improving debt collections would play a greater role in addressing gaps in revenue and would better support economic development across the county.
North West Regional Director Terry MacNamara says in in commercial rates alone, €15 million approximately goes uncollected each year. This is almost 10 times the amount that would be raised through the proposed increase.
