Donegal County Council’s budget meeting has reconvened at County House with a huge media presence in the building. It’s the fourth day of the meeting which remains deadlocked, with Fine Gael, Labour and some Independents supporting the budget, while Fianna Fail, Sinn Fein and Independent Cllr John Campbell oppose it.
Earlier this morning, Independent Councillor Frank Mc Brearty said while he has concerns about elements of the budget, he will be supporting it, and is urging others to do likewise.
He says voting against this budget could lead to somebody from Dublin coming to Donegal and
making key decisions for the council.
It would, he suggested, be just like the night the Troika set foot in Dublin and started running the country.
