It’s not clear if Donegal County Councils budget for 2013 will be passed this evening.
Cllrs from Fine Gael and Labour have outlined their support for the budget, while Sinn Fein have comfirmed that they’ll be voting against it.
It’s still unclear if Fianna Fail and the Independents on the Council will vote for or against.

Fine Gael whip on the Council, Barry O’Neill outlined his parties opposition to the proposal, while Sinn Fein had already said earlier this week that they could not support the councils budget if this measure was contained.
Labour were also against the 2 euro rental increase.
Sinn Fein Cllr Jack Murray has outlined why his party are against the Councils budget….
