Council meeting row over discussion of BUPA jobs
A row erupted between Fianna Fáil’s Cllr Alan Coleman and Fine Gael’s Cllr Liam O’Doherty when the latter proposed that standing orders be suspended to discuss “the serious issue”.
Mr Coleman, who later defended VHI, said Mr O’Doherty was abusing the standing orders system. But he was overruled by the mayor of Co Cork, Cllr John O’Shea.
