Mayor elected as replacements for newly-elected TDs join Cork council

Cork County Council has elected a new mayor and welcomed four new councillors who were co-opted onto the local authority to replace members who have been elected to the Dáil.

Fianna Fáil’s Ian Doyle, a fuel merchant from Charleville, was elected as mayor of Cork, taking over the chain of office from Christopher O’Sullivan, who was elected to the Dáil, representing Cork South-West.
