Public urged to use vote threat on €100m airport debt issue

MEMBERS of the public were urged yesterday to tell Government parties they will vote against them unless they do a U-turn on Cork Airport’s €100 million debt.

Standing orders were suspended at a meeting of Cork County Council after angry opposition members derided Fianna Fáil over the broken promise.

And members of council voted last night to seek a meeting with Taoiseach Bertie Ahern when he visits Cork on Friday.
