I have no plans to meet with the Sligo County Manager and Head of Finance.

While it is a matter for each local authority, including Sligo County Council, to manage its own day-to-day finances in a prudent and sustainable manner, my Department is in ongoing consultation with the Council in relation to its financial position.

I have had no written communication with Sligo County Council in relation to the €15m loan sanction during the period 30 May 2011 to date.
