FF councillor who ‘lost out’ on post complains to HQ

A Fianna Fáil councillor who “lost out” on becoming a vice-chairman of a municipal district has complained to party headquarters.

Kerry’s Cllr Michael O’Shea had expected to be elected the deputy chair of the Kenmare-Dingle committee after colleague Cllr Norma Moriarty was selected as the chairperson.

But a party colleague Cllr Michael Cahill proposed and voted for an Independent candidate Cllr Dan McCarthy. The votes were tied and Cllr McCarthy was selected after his name was drawn by lot.
