Fianna Fáil under pressure over radiotherapy issue

Mayor of Lismore PJ Ahern resigned from Fianna Fáil over the weekend in protest over the Government’s failure to provide radiotherapy in the region. After 30 years with the party, he stunned colleagues on Saturday night by cutting his ties over the radiotherapy issue.

Before the local elections in June last year, city councillor Mary Roche also resigned from FF over the radiotherapy issue. And, in the local elections, the party retained just one of its four seats. Michael Ivory lost his seat, as did Sean Dower. Tom Murphy alone was returned. Mary Roche was elected as an Independent.
