Councillor wants foul-mouthed colleagues given red card

A Fianna Fáil politician accused of “bullshitting” in a local authority meeting has called for a crackdown on foul-mouthed councillors.

Kenneth O’Flynn said last night he has put a motion before Cork City Council calling for a system that could see councillors who express themselves “in a base manner” being kicked out of meetings and facing suspension.

“The people who elect us don’t want us cursing and swearing as if we’re in a pub,” said Mr O’Flynn.
