Heated Arguments Expected as Councillors Sit down to Decide EstimatesMonday, December 10th, 2001By Tony Murphy Heated debates are expected this afternoon in the chamber of Wicklow County Council as the members sit down to decide on their spending for the coming year in what is looking like another marathon session. The agenda for the estimates meeting always looks innocent but when officials get into the issue of expenditure on various projects and in different parts of the county it often incites individual members of the Council, particularly if they feel there is not enough being spent in their own district.
Illegal dumping which is the hot issue of the moment will undoubtedly come up for discussion as officials reveal what they intend to spend on the refuse service in the coming year. It is expected that outspoken councillors on the issue, Tommy Cullen from Labour and Deirdre de Burca of the Green Party will be particularly vocal on this subject. It is the aim of the Council to finish the debate on estimates in one day so it is unlikely to be finished by the statutory time of 5 p.m. and, like several other meetings this year, could run up to 10 o'clock tonight. |
