Sheahan to leave county council

Following the resignations of Labour stalwarts John Mulvihill and Paula Desmond — plus the decision of FF whip Danny Crowley not to stand — comes the departure of FG’s Cllr Tom Sheahan.
The Buttevant-based auctioneer, who served as mayor of the county in 2007/2008, said his decision to quit local politics was primarily based on the redrawing of electoral area boundaries.
