JAILED CLLR HANGS ON TO HIS COUNCIL SEAT FOR A FEW MORE WEEKS
Date Published: 11-Sep-2007
Jailed County Councillor Michael Stroke Fahy is to keep his council seat for another few weeks at least
Galway County Council has approved a request by Cllr Fahy that ensures the former member of Fianna Fail won’t lose his seat due to missing a number of council meetings.
However if he loses his appeal against his conviction for fraud and theft he will have to give up his seat.
Cllr Fahy last attended a meeting on the 26th of February.
But today’s resolution proposed by Cllr Michael Regan and seconded by Cllr Tomás Mannion means that the local government act doesn’t apply to Cllr Fahy for missing meetings in March and April because he was sick and in Dublin.
It means that Cllr Fahy’s seat is safe until at least October 23rd.
Then it’s believed the county council will have to pass a resolution allowing him to be absent for another 6 months.
