Loughrea Councillor Ivan Canning proposed their budget be rejected - and explains why.
Last week, it was announced that a once-off allocation of €2.75m is being made to Galway County Council in light of its financial situation.
Tuam area Councillor Andrew Reddington says it's little more than a drop in the ocean of what's needed.
