‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Derating of Industrial Premises. Eligibility for industrial rates remission
Summary
Leonard questions the difference in rates relief for businesses receiving IDA grants and those that do not; the Chair rules that this issue is separate from derating.
Is there not an anomaly whereby an industrialist may obtain an IDA grant and qualify for rates remission for a ten year period while someone manufacturing a commodity in respect of which a grant does not apply will not be paid the grant though he may be providing jobs and manufacturing something that is in demand?
Comment on this
The Chair has been asked to try to improve the standard of Question Time. The question we are dealing with relates to derating, but rating and derating are as different as chalk and cheese.
