Cllr. threatens to call in auditor 19.10.07

A BUNCRANA councillor is incensed this week after discovering his complaints relating to how the local authority upgrades its housing stock were not recorded on the minutes of last month's meeting.
Cllr. Joe Doherty. Cllr. Joe Doherty called for an investigation in September into whose function it was to decide what repairs were needed to homes and how much money was to be spent on each project.
He alleged that an inordinate amount was spent doing up one particular property when other tenants in the town were promised repairs.
Assistant county manager, Liam Kelly promised an investigation into the matter.
However, Cllr. Doherty was angered on Wednesday to learn that his initial concerns weren't even recorded in the minutes,
according to a report on Highland Radio.
He has now threatened to report the matter to the Comptroller and Auditor General.
He also renewed his warning to bring the case to Housing Minister Noel Ahern. The Fianna Fail councillor has been given assurances that his concerns would be recorded on the minutes of the October 17th meeting.
