Tuairisciú ar Shíntiúis Pholaitíochta ag Tríú Páirtithe
Tá forálacha an Achta um Thoghcháin Áitiúla (Síntiúis agus Caiteachas a Nochtadh), 1999 arna leasú i ndáil le tríú páirtithe ceaptha chun an duine nó na daoine sin a thabhairt faoi réim an chórais síntiús polaitíochta atá i bhfeidhm ar leibhéal an rialtais áitiúil.
Sainmhínítear “tríú páirtí” sa reachtaíocht mar dhuine ar bith, seachas páirtí polaitíochta atá cláraithe i gClár na bPáirtithe Polaitíochta faoi Chuid III den Acht Toghcháin 1992 nó iarrthóir i dtoghchán, a ghlacann, i mbliain áirithe, le síntiús ar mó a luach ná €100.
Ceanglaítear ar an “tríú páirtí” clárú le Comhairle Contae Liatroma, cuntas síntiús polaitíochta a oscailt agus ráiteas ó institiúid airgeadais, mar aon le deimhniú agus dearbhú reachtúil, a chur faoi bhráid na Comhairle tráth nach déanaí ná an 31 Márta gach bliain.
Ní mór do dhaoine aonair nó d’eagraíochtaí laistigh de limistéar riaracháin Chomhairle Contae Liatroma a mheasann go mbaineann na forálacha thuas leo clárú leis an gComhairle agus na doiciméid riachtanacha go léir a chur faoi bhráid an té a bhfuil a ainm leis seo thíos roimh an 31 Márta 2024.
