Fine Gael members quarrel over internal VEC voting process

A FURTHER row has broken out over a Cork County VEC selection – this time, internally, within the ranks of Fine Gael.

It comes as yet another blow to the party which just a few weeks ago was forced into an embarrassing climbdown when Fine Gael endeavoured to unseat a Church of Ireland representative on the board.

The latest row resulted in a complaint being made by a Fine Gael town councillor to the party’s head office following a vote to nominate a chairman of the Cork County VEC.
