New Mayor of County Cork to be selected on February 24

A new Mayor of County Cork will be selected on February 24 by which time it may be clearer as to who will replace three county councillors who have won seats in the Dáil.

Cllr Christopher O'Sullivan won a Dáil seat for Fianna Fáil in the Cork South West constituency and as a result no longer holds the mayoral title. Before a replacement is elected his job will be carried out by the deputy mayor, Cllr Martin Coughlan.
