The 17 Councillors, who formed a pact on the issue, voted for a full reduction of 15 per cent on the property tax.
While Fine Gael voted against the reduction saying it would mean on average a reduction of 26 to 66 cent a week in people's bills in 2015.
The vote was carried and the reduction in the charge will come into force in 2015.
