Cllr Terry Shannon: ‘Cork Chamber gala dinner shouldn’t be facilitated’

An outspoken Cork city councillor wants City Hall to stop hosting Cork Chamber’s annual gala dinner given its support for the controversial super-council plan.

“If the chamber wants to take us on, that’s fair enough. But I don’t see why we should be facilitating them,” said Fianna Fáil councillor Terry Shannon.

“They can go away and get their own hotel and have their do there, and entertain the Taoiseach and whoever elsewhere, without using City Hall as a base, considering they want to abolish us.”
