Mayoral hopeful loses vote after FG colleagues abstain
Cllr Lola O’Sullivan lost out on the position of mayor of Tramore in Waterford on Tuesday night when two Fine Gael colleagues on the town council, Anne-Marie Power and Maxine Keoghan, abstained from the vote.
Ms O’Sullivan was one of a number of Fine Gael members of Waterford County Council who in 2008 voted in favour of rezoning agricultural land outside Dungarvan, which was the subject of a Garda investigation and a ministerial caution.
