Clare Daly
Ceist:196. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the fact that Sligo County Council has been incurring revenue deficits in its budget over the past six years and that the cumulative revenue debt stands at €19.67 million while the council's long-term debt is in excess of €120 million; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the assistant secretary of his Department in a letter to the chief executive of Sligo County Council dated 11 November 2014 highlighted the fact that legislation provides that a county council audit committee should have been in place within three months of polling date, by 23 August 2014 and that the audit committee should be made aware of the gravity of the council’s financial situation; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a council audit committee was eventually established at the monthly meeting of Sligo County Council on 1 December 2014; if his Department will now consider providing additional funding to the council; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
