Councillors Divided on Proposed Property Tax Increase – October 11th, 2022
Kerry County Council CEO Moira Murrell has asked councillors to consider a 15% increase of the local property tax from the base rate for the next two years with rising costs of energy prices and materials having a significant impact on council finances. According to the council, such an increase of 15% from the base rate next year would mean an increase of 26 cent per week for almost half of homeowners in Kerry. However, Sinn Féin councillor Deirdre Ferris is calling for a 15% reduction. She and Cllr Norma Moriarty of Fianna Fáil discuss this with Jerry.

Fallout from Island of Geese Vote – September 20th, 2022
Yesterday, a majority of Kerry County Councillors voted to sell a section of the Island of Geese site in Tralee to the Courts Service. The Courts Service plans to build a new courthouse for Tralee on this site. The decision is controversial as the Island of Geese site was given to the people of Tralee by its former owner, Kerry Group. Those who voted against the sale argue that the majority of people in Tralee don’t want a new courthouse on the site and want to see the existing courthouse on Ashe Street be renovated. The Courts Service says it’s not possible to bring the Ashe Street building up to the necessary standard. Jerry speaks to Canice Walsh of the Kerry Law Society and to Councillors Deirdre Ferris and Patrick O’Connor-Scarteen.
