Sean...

Sinn Fein City Councillors have placed a motion before Cork City Council calling for a debate on the Queens Visit to Cork. The motion reads “This Council does not endorse the invitation extended by An tArd Mhéara to the English Queen to visit Cork”. I expect that the motion will fail. According to Cllr Mick Nugent “The actions of the Lord Mayor in extending this invitation without informing the council and allowing its members an opportunity to object were...
