Councillors ‘in the dark’ on city’s €200m spend

THERE were calls last night for better break-downs on Cork City Council spending after concerns were raised about how €200 million was spent on capital projects.

They came after details of the 2005 budget were released. They show the city finished the year with a €202,000 surplus.

But Labour Cllr Michael Ahern said most councillors were in the dark about how over €200m was spent on capital projects.
