544. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government if he is aware that item No. 11 on the agenda issued on 7 April 2015 for the April monthly meeting of Sligo County Council was to consider the annual financial statement of the council for the year ended 31 December 2014; that the annual financial statement was not circulated to the elected members of the council; that the council was therefore obliged to adopt a motion deferring consideration of the statement until its May monthly meeting, in order to allow the council executive to circulate the statement; that there is a requirement that the council's statement be prepared by 1 April each year, and that section 108 of the Local Government Act 2001 requires that, as soon as practicable after the preparation of the statement, the statement along with a report by the chief executive shall be sent to each member of the council; if he will consider introducing additional legislation or regulations to ensure that section 108 of the Act is complied with; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
