‘Two-fingered gesture’ sparks FG council complaint

AN official complaint has been lodged with Cork County Council following allegations that a member of Fianna Fáil gave a two-fingered sign to other local politicians during a heated debate on the economy.

Cllr Michael Hegarty, the leader of FG on the council, said he furnished the complaint with the office of the mayor following the incident which took place at a meeting in County Hall last week.

He claimed Cllr Donal O’Rourke (FF) made a V-sign to members sitting opposite him in the FG, Labour and Independents benches before leaving the chamber.
