Elected councillors have called into question plans to spend €13,000 on a promotional video for Limerick when just €30,000 has been allocated for grass cutting is estates across the city.
A major row erupted in City Hall at a meeting of the Metropolitan council, when proposals for spending the cash which councillors voted to allocate to the General Municipal Allocation for various works were revealed.
Members were told that grass cutting for the municipal area, which takes in all of the city and some suburbs, has been capped at €30,000.
The members took issue with various aspects of the way in which projects were prioritised in the spending of the allocation for the area, which had been voted on in the large in the context of the local authority budget.
And angry James Collins (FF)) called an adjournment to the meeting and demanded to know who had decided how to spend the allocation.
