Letterkenny Milford Municipal District has passed its budget for 2026, with €250,000 approved, equivalent to €25,000 per member.
Director of Finance Richard Gibson told members that council wants to continue the policy of increasing the discretionary fund for members, and also continue with an estate maintenance programme which was recently introduced.
Cllr Donal Coyle proposed the budget, and Cllr Michael McBride seconded the motion.
Once again, there was a discussion on the fact that the meeting is taking place before the council’s plenary budget meeting, with Cllr Gerry McMonagle suggesting not passing the budget to put pressure on the department to address the anomaly.
