Elected members of Lifford and Stranorlar Municipal District have passed their 2026 draft budgetary plan, with a fund of €150,000 agreed.
It will see an allocation of €25,000 to each member, to be allocated at their discretion.
Director of Finance Richard Gibson outlined at the beginning of his presentation that the statutory requirement to agree a draft MD budget ahead of setting out the county wide budget doesn’t make sense.
This was later echoed by Cllr Gary Doherty.
Inishowen Municipal District is to meet later today.
