Cork City Councillors have voted against the Budget for 2015.
Members voted by 15 to 14 against the overall package, after two separate ballots.
The detail in the budget is drawn up by management - and parties on all sides of the Chamber appear to be divided on the figures.

The Council now has two weeks to hammer out an agreement or it faces being dissolved and an administrator appointed to run the finances and services of the city.
This is the first budget of the "new council" elected in May; where Fianna Fail are the largest party, followed by Sinn Fein, and Fine Gael.
