The verdict sees Limerick receive an extra €2.36 million in funding in 2025.
The Local Property Tax (LPT) for house owners in Limerick will remain unchanged for 2025.
At a full council meeting on Monday, September 23, Limerick City and County Council members voted to maintain the LPT and its variation rate at 2024 levels for 2025.
A new library van, new road sweepers, a velocity patcher for potholes, two new rollers, and a chip spreader were among the projects sponsored by the LPT in 2024.
Local Property Tax is supposed to support essential services in Limerick
Additionally, the LPT has made it possible to maintain roads more often – specifically – the quantity of gully inlet work that is being done on regional and local roads.
There will also be additional funds made available to the Fire Service, Library Service and Tourism Development from the LPT.
“I very much support the decision to raise these valuable funds for Limerick,” said John Moran, Mayor of Limerick. “The additional €2.36 million raised through the Local Property Tax will support the provision of essential services for Limerick and its citizens.”
“Thanks to the decision made by elected members, these additional funds from the LPT will guarantee the provision of important public services,” Dr Pat Daly, Director General of Limerick City and County Council, also commented. “In areas including road maintenance, parks and recreational facilities, community development projects, waste management and environmental initiatives, libraries, fire service and tourism development.”
