This Council supports the valuable work undertaken by the National Collective of Community Based Women’s Networks. We also support the important work carried out by the Community Women’s Networks in Clondalkin and Tallaght. We oppose the decision by the former Minister for Environment Phil Hogan to cease funding these groups through their National Network and call on the new Minister for Environment Alan Kelly to restore this funding for 2015 pending a full review of the projects and their funding, as the new Minister has done with a number of disability advocacy organisations.
This Council acting on behalf of its hard pressed taxpayers and concerned for the future funding of the services and facilities it provides, calls on the Taoiseach, Minister for Finance and the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to repeal or amend the current legislation setting up the Local Property Tax, which is neither a wealth tax or a feasible means of funding Local Government and replace it with a sustainable local service charge that is based on the funding of named local services, is linked on ability to pay and to general taxation in such a manner that it excludes double taxation is fair, equitable and transparent. And that the Chief Executive Officer so write to the Taoiseach and named Ministers conveying the decision of this Council and copying the County Councils.
