A newly elected Fianna Fail Councillor wants the council in Kilkenny to reduce the property tax next year.
Under the new rules, Pat McKee and local councillors have the power to reduce or increase the rates by a maximum of 15 percent and it will apply for 2015.
He told KCLR news that to lower them for next year they need to have it agreed by September 30th.
However he claims Minister Phil Hogan hasn’t published the regulations yet which means they might miss the deadline.
