TD may appeal dual mandate ruling

FINE GAEL Deputy Michael Ring is considering appealing a High Court judgement which upheld the Government’s decision to ban TDs and Senators becoming councillors.

The court found the TD's constitutional rights were not breached by the Government's ban on members of the Oireachtas running in the local elections.

Mr Ring said last night he will meet his legal team next week to decide if he will appeal the judgement.
