Cherish the dog. The one who’s been there through every break up and every dumb fight with your best friend. That dog who slept in the bed with you when you were lonely and made you feel safe when you left home. Cherish him, because one day you’ll take him on a walk and he’ll start to get tired before you and you’ll realize just how many years he’s been walking by your side.
Cork City Council tonight voted to increase the Local Adjustment Factor (LAF) of Local Property Tax in Cork City by 9% (with 19 votes).
Under Section 20 of the Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012, a Local Authority may vote to vary the basic rate of the Local Property Tax by a maximum of plus or minus 15% of the basic rate.
The elected members of Cork City Council have previously voted for a 0% LAF for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019. This generated additional income of €777,000 per annum in the budget which equates to €2.331m over those three years. For the 2021 budget, the elected members increased the LAF to 7.5% which generated an additional €1.58m.

An Garda Síochána at the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB) are warning the public of a recent smishing scam where persons are receiving text messages purporting to be from Permanent TSB advising of ‘unusual activity’ or a ‘suspicious log-in attempt’ on their account.
Once the person clicks on the link they will be brought to a cloned website where the fraudsters will seek their pins, passcodes and other personal information from them. The information sought is far and beyond what a bank would ever seek.
The fraudsters wants your personal data so they can steal money from your bank account or purport to be you when contacting banks.
GNECB would like to warn the public to be wary of such text messages and if in any doubt of the authenticity of the text, contact their bank on the numbers they usually use.
Do not use a number supplied by these texts.
There are other ‘smishing’ texts being received and these can purport to be from service providers, revenue, banks and/or delivery businesses. Some can fit into the threads of previously received genuine texts which adds an air of authenticity to them.
An Garda Síochána’s advice to the public is as follows:
– Never click on a link of an unsolicited text, email or respond to cold callers seeking personal information.
– Never give away personal data like PIN number, card numbers, passwords, one time codes, PPS numbers
– If you are expecting a delivery and receive such a text be very careful.
– Banks will never text you seeking personal information like account numbers, passwords, pin codes, mother’s maiden’s name
– If you have been a victim its vital to change your passwords/pin codes
– If you have responded to such a text contact your bank immediately
– It is also important to report the matter to Gardaí.

Enjoy the Cork County Coast Safely
Cork County Council in conjunction with the Irish Coast Guard and Water Safety Ireland are appealing to members of the public to be mindful of their personal safety if they’re visiting the coast this week.
The three organisations have issued guidelines for anyone taking part in coastal walks. They’re asking people to stay away from exposed coastal and cliff edges, tell someone where you’re going and to pay attention to tide times and safety signs. They’re also advising people to dress appropriately for the conditions, to wear a high-factor sunscreen and to bring enough food and water for their journey.
A status yellow high temperature warning remains in place for the entire country. Met Éireann is predicting maximum temperatures of between 25 and 30 degrees for County Cork until Friday.
