Changing tack: Councillor backs McGrath

A FORMER PD councillor who joined Fianna Fáil in 2008 has now pledged his support to independent TD Mattie McGrath for the general election.

Richie Molloy confirmed yesterday he has resigned from Fianna Fáil after being “unhappy for a number of months” with various government decisions.

His new slogan, he said, is “local man for local politics.”
