Mayor John Gilligan has entered into a pact with the eight-strong Fine Gael members on Limerick City Council for next Monday’s mayoral election, scuppering any deal with the four Labour party representatives.The deal means the next five mayors of Limerick City are set to be four Fine Gael councillors and one Independent, reports the Limerick Post newspaper.
Fine Gael’s spectacular success in scooping eight of the 17 Limerick City Council seats gives it the dominant presence in City Hall and in the lead up to next Monday’s mayoral election, the party has been engaged in negotiation with each of the other parties on the council.
