FF councillors in emergency rallying call

FIANNA FÁIL councillors yesterday called an emergency meeting with all elected party members in the Shannon region in an effort to lobby support for Government intervention.

A meeting of Fianna Fáil TDs, senators and councillors in the mid-west region to include Limerick, north Tipperary, Kerry, Clare and Galway next Wednesday is expected to hear calls for urgent Government action.

Yesterday, Councillor Pat Daly, a spokesman for the 15 Clare county councillors who called the meeting, said the Taoiseach and the ministers for Transport, Enterprise and Employment and Arts, Sport and Tourism would be invited to attend.
