Mayor to seek Fine Gael nomination

THE Mayor of Limerick, Cllr Diarmuid Scully confirmed last night he intends to seek a Fine Gael nomination to fight the next general election in Limerick East.

Mr Scully has lost the FG whip on Limerick City Council after breaking party ranks to defeat the nominated FG candidate for the mayoralty last June.

However, he remains a member of Fine Gael and is eligible to seek a general election nomination.
