China junket takes in Hong Kong

THE eight-member group representing Limerick County Council in China on a junket to further links with Shanghai will also be spending several days and nights in Hong Kong, it emerged last night.

The group, made up of six county councillors, the county manager and a senior official, went to China with the stated aim of developing cultural and business links with the Jiading district of Shanghai.

However, it has emerged that the party will spend two full days and three nights in Hong Kong, where they are due tomorrow.
