Govt cuts Donegal Council funding by €4m

Donegal County Council has been told its allocation from the Local Government Fund is to be cut by 13% to reflect the number of people in the county who have not paid the Household Charge.
A letter from the Department of the Environment and Local Government said the initial grant of just under €31m is being cut by just over €4m, based on a 47% level of compliance with the charge.
