Lord Mayor of Cork defends his decision not to speak at County Hall event
Cllr Chris O'Leary says it was about respect for the office and nothing to do with his ego
The Lord Mayor of Cork says his decision not to speak at an event in County Hall was about respect for the office and nothing to do with his ego..
Cllr Chris O'Leary has denied claims by the County Mayor that he was invited to be the second speaker and is adamant that he was placed sixth to speak
at the launch of a joint city and county council food promotion strategy...
He declined to speak last as he says the protocol of his office requires the office holder to be the first speaker at any event within the city’s administrative area.
However the County Mayor John Paul O'Shea says it's normal procedure that if a launch is taking place at County Hall the County Mayor is the first to speak
Lord Mayor Cllr Chris O'Leary told RedFM News he took the stand to defend the office which he believes was disrespected
