There are two motions for consideration at next Monday’s plenary meeting of Tipperary County council.
The first Motion is submitted in the name of 4 councillors, Noel Coonan, Eddie Moran, Joe Hannigan and Michael Smith.
The councillors are calling on Tipperary County Council to review its policy for small rural enterprises in the countryside contained in the County Development Plan 2022.
The Councillors say the Policy is having an adverse impact on the future of families engaged in rural enterprise.
A second motion on the Agenda is categorised as not being within the functions of Tipperary County Council and is the name of Cllr Marie Murphy.
The motion asks that Tipperary County Council would write to the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage seeking details of a government announcement of plans to issue a Temporary Time Limited Waiver in respect of Development Contributions.
The Motion welcomes the waiver of Development fees but asks that the applicable date for this waiver should be from January 1st 2023 and not March 28th as stated in the Department’s Circular.
Cllr Murphy is also asking that the motion be circulated to The Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, The Tánaiste, Micheal Martin, The Minister for Finance, Michael McGrath and The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Paschal Donohoe.
The government announced the waiving of development fees for a limited period to help boost the supply of housing.
