Political row erupts over venue choice for election of Cork's Lord Mayor
Cork City councillor Colm Kelleher is expected to be elected the next Lord Mayor.
A vote on the venue for the election of Cork's next Lord Mayor has sparked a political row and prompted calls for a “neutral venue” to be chosen.
It follows an 18-9 vote by city councillors to hold this year’s council AGM in the sports hall at Coláiste Choilm secondary school in Ballincollig on Friday rather than in a city centre hotel.
