It comes as councillors in the Tuam, Loughrea and Athenry-Oranmore municipal districts also voted against their local budgets at County Hall this week, citing serious concerns over funding shortfalls.
The message has been unified and consistent, with Ballinasloe councillors this afternoon agreeing that the county has effectively been 'abandoned' by central Government.

Discussion this afternoon focused on the fact that while funding remains stagnant and chronically below minimum levels needed, costs continue to spiral and services are falling further and further behind.
