FF man loses seat on board

EX-CORK County Council chairman Vivian O’Callaghan has been dumped from a port authority after 27 years service.

Having lost his Fianna Fáil county council seat in Bantry in the June local elections, he failed to secure a ministerial appointment to Bantry Bay Harbour Board.

Hotelier Mr O’Callaghan, the outgoing chairman, could not be contacted yesterday. Friends said he was aggrieved at being overlooked, as a nominee, of the marine minister.
