Home»Gerry Walsh On Controversial Charlesland Development Vote

With a vote of 3 to 2 (the Green Party's Lourda Scott having been absent), the Part 8 Proposal to build 41 social houses on a Charlesland plot that some believe to be a flood plain was passed by our councillors on Tuesday, December 15th 2020. Subsequently, our town councillors have been issuing statements on why they voted the way they did. Tom Fortune and Mags Crean voted again - and you can read Tom's statement here: https://www.greystonesguide.ie/fortune-walks-out-on-three-trout-vote/ Jodie Neary, Derek Mitchell and Gerry Walsh voted in favour - you can read Derek's later statement here: https://www.greystonesguide.ie/mitchell-defends-controversial-charlesland-vote/ This image here is a post on Gerry's Facebook page, on Friday, December 18th 2020...
