MORE than £1 million in EU funds designated for Fermanagh could be blocked by a row involving Sinn Fein.
Fermanagh District Council has nominated eight members to serve on the district partnership board to distribute the money, three UUP members, three Independents, one SDLP and one DUP member, but excluding anyone from Sinn Fein.
A Sinn Fein spokesman, Mr Robin Martin, said a walkout would be considered at Monday's council meeting where the appointments are due to be finalised.
We are considering an appeal to the European department which has sanctioned the money. We have nothing against anyone on the board but the UUP shouldn't be demanding three seats. Sinn Fein has three councillors and the DUP have only two, and yet they have a representative on the board."
If Sinn Fein complains to the EU. Fermanagh might have to wait for the more than £1 million, as the package is allocated on the basis that there is peace between all parties.
