Cost of Inefficiency Borne By Business

Over €500m in nationally and approximately €170m in the Dublin region of local government inefficiency, which business have been paying for, looks set to be cut. The Local Efficiency Review Group Report, which came out of the Chamber's pre-Budget 2010 Submission, has spelt a plan to cut current costs of local government by 10%.

The Report has also paved the way for a review of the services provided by Dublin's four local authorites which will look at overall rationalisation of management systems across Dublin driven by the office of the directly elected Mayor for Dublin.
