Independent TD for Kildare North Catherine Murphy, following a number of contacts from worried Leixlip constituents, has issued a public warning regarding bogus ground rent demands.
The constituents concerned have recently received letters demanding payment of ground rents on their properties. However, having investigated the credentials of the “partnership” concerned, Murphy has confirmed it has no authority to demand such payments,
“I’m asking people to be vigilant and only to pay such bills if they’re 100 per cent certain that they’re genuine.”
