Lord mayor could face vote of no confidence

The lord mayor of Cork could face a vote of no confidence tonight, if he doesn’t issue a public apology for an unprecedented political attack on Sinn Féin.

Fianna Fáil councillor Terry Shannon insisted he would not apologise for defending the office of lord mayor.

“I don’t know what I have to apologise for. I will defend the office of lord mayor from attack and I make no apologies to anyone for doing that.”
