Clare County Council is set to benefit from a €10m funding boost, from local property tax returns.
It comes as part of €696m government allocation towards the day to day running costs of local authorities nationwide.
Each year every local authority is entitled to receive a minimum amount of funding from the retention of the Local Property Tax, known as baseline funding.
This is used to support day to day local authority operations and contingency situations such as responses to the Covid-19 pandemic and the Ukrainian crisis.
For 2025, Clare County Council’s baseline has been set at just over €10.1m which remain’s unchanged from last year’s amount.
The Government estimates Clare County Council will receive just over €9.9m property tax returns this year and has therefore ringfenced an additional €215,000 in equalisation funding to make up the difference.
