Councillor takes swipe at Fianna Fáil's support for Michael Collins statue in Dublin 

Fine Gael member of Cork City Council Shane O’Callaghan: While I very much support the proposal for a statute of Collins in Dublin – I would ideally like to see statues of Collins in both Cork and Dublin – Fianna Fáil’s approach to the issue is nothing short of bizarre.'

A Fine Gael member of Cork City Council has taken a swipe at Fianna Fáil after the council voted to support calls for the erection of a statue of Michael Collins – in Dublin.

Cllr Shane O’Callaghan said he was at a loss to understand where Fianna Fáil stands on the issue of erecting a statue in honour of Collins in his native city after his efforts to garner support for such a move in Cork City last year were rejected by the council.
