Dec 10
28 companies attended our December meeting.
Joseph Gilhooly, Director of Services with Leitrim County Council spoke to the network members about services available and developments within the county.
Joseph discussed a number of items including:
• An audit of the counties infrastructure
• 3rd level courses available through the council
• The recent broadband survey
• Ideas around attracting sector specific companies to the county
• Tax relief on units available for rent
With regard to ideas from network members, Carmel Murphy from HR Solutions shared an experience about services companies she had contacted that did not return her calls and highlighted the importance of simply following up on enquiries.
Next Meeting: January 13th.

Yes, the December meeting and dinner was informative and a lovely meal and much appreciated, so thanks to all involved.
I just want to clairify something in relation to tax incentives for rental property, which didn’t ring true at the time and I have since verified the situation — there isn’t any tax relief to the RENTER of Rural Renewal Tax Incentive property; under the Scheme the tax incentive goes to the purchaser of the unit for lease and he/she can offset it against rental income earned anywhere in the State. Unfortunate for those paying the rent!
Looking forward to 13th January.
