FIANNA FAIL LEADER CALLS FOR REDUCTION IN CITY COMMERCIAL RATES

Date Published: 22-Sep-2011

Commercial rates are too high in Galway.

That's the view of Fianna Fáil leader Micheal Martin who's in the city to meet with the Chamber of Commerce.

He says it's hampering business and has called for it to be reduced.

Banks must provide more access to credit if small and medium businesses here are to survive, according to Mr Martin.
