Chamber request urgent meeting with Minister Simon Coveney TD

County Kildare Chamber this evening requested an urgent meeting with Minister Simon Coveney TD to discuss the recent issue of the proposed valuation certificates for Reval 2017 in Kildare.  Allan Shine, CEO of the Chamber said, “ Our members are reporting huge increases in rates with this new valuation system.  In some cases the rate levy will be higher that the rent on properties.  This is unacceptable and we have members throughout the county who have informed our offices that they are now facing increases in excess of 300%.
