Defiant FG cllrs snub party hearing

Two FG councillors facing disciplinary action over their failure to support a colleague who backed a controversial rezoning vote are refusing to attend an internal party hearing next week.

Ann Marie Power and Maxine Keoghan were told by FG headquarters to be at the meeting in Dublin next Tuesday to explain their refusal last month to support a party member attempting to become mayor of Tramore.

Both councillors abstained in the vote because of Lola O’Sullivan’s backing of a land rezoning in 2008.
