Carlow County Council avert €2million budget shortfall

Carlow County Council have managed to bridge the €2million budget deficit they had been facing.

This was done through harmonizing the rates in the town and county as well as with the help of Minister Simon Coveney and local representatives.

Businesses in the town will see a reduction in their rates while those in the county will be increased slightly.

Speaking to KCLR News, Councillor Browne says hopefully they will be able to reduce them across the board in the coming years.
