Seam Mullarkey, Acting Head of Finance presented the Chief Executive report regarding the General Municipal Allocation and the draft Budgetary Plans for Athlone Municipal District 2023.
The total proposed General Municipal Allocation for the Athlone Municipal District is €810,600. This represents an increase of €40,700 on last year’s allocations.
