Council avoids dissolution after passing budget
The vote on the €152m budget, details of which were unchanged since it was voted down last Monday, was swung after two independent councillors changed their position.
Independent councillor Kieran McCarthy voted in favour of the budget, while independent Cllr Mick Finn abstained. Crucially, Ind Cllr Paudie Dineen, who was not at last week’s meeting, also supported the budget last night.
