Fianna Fáil regains control of Cork as deal struck

Fianna Fáil have regained control of Cork County Council for the first time since 1991 after cobbling together a loose coalition with seven of the 10 Independents and two Labour councillors.

However, the party does not have an overall majority, which could prove difficult for adopting future budgets.

It failed to secure the 28 votes required for an overall majority in the expanded 55-seat council.
