Local Councillors Now Have Allowance Dedicated To Their Personal Security

This allowance is similar to the one for Oireachtas members and means county councillors can avail of the once-off payment administered by local authorities.

They will be able to claim up to 50% of their personal security costs, to a maximum value of €2,500.

Guidelines regarding the operation of the scheme will be issued shortly to local authorities.
