The Mayor of Clonmel Cllr Billy Shoer

This man sits on the mayors’ throne as the observant overseer of derelict sites, depleted wallets, empty shops, and decaying infrastructure.
This begs the question what can this man do? In fact, very little, for the powers of local Government are curtailed to the point that they are almost ineffective but not totally.
Now a few words of advice to “Big Billy S” bear in mind you are not totally without power you can do something about rates. You can take action to make derelict sites attractive to prospective business owners, thus creating employment.
However, you know Billy Boy you puzzle me. Your party has advocated the boycotting of the household tax a payment that is now the law of the land and which many householders have already paid. What bewilders me here is the left has always been a strong backer of property taxation. Today such taxation has become a major component of local Government. You as a member of WUAG are suggesting people do not pay their taxes. No taxes, equates to no money for services. I wonder Mr. Mayor where you stand. I hear on the grapevine that a local wordsmith is composing a song called the “Shoer Wiggle”
