Fianna Fail Councillor Keane took the chair at the first meeting of the new city council this evening.

Labour Councillor Niall McNelis was elected Deputy Mayor – with both roles filled as part of a power pact between Fianna Fail, Labour, Sinn Fein and several independents.

We’ll have an interview with Mayor Councillor Peter Keane on our first broadcast tomorrow Saturday at 1pm.
