Cllr Mc Garry elected as new Mayor of Sligo
Labour Councillor Jim Mc Garry has been elected as Mayor of Sligo.
The voting alliance between Fine Gael, Fianna Fail and Labour which elected Cllr Mc Garry was harsly criticised at this afternoon’s meeting of Sligo Borough Council.
He defeated the only other candidate Sinn Fein’s Chris Mc Manus by eight votes to four.
Fianna Fail Councillor Jude Devins has been elected as Deputy Mayor defeating Independent Councillor Declan Bree by eight votes to four also.
The meeting continues this afternoon.
