Just three local authorities will apply cuts to their charges next year, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, Fingal and South Dublin County Council (SDCC). The €767 million total for the 31 local authorities for next year includes central Government supports of €142.3 million to 21 local authorities with low LPT bases. The €767 million total is 69 per cent more than the €453 million allocated a decade ago.
