A PROMINENT councillor has expressed his disappointment that comments he made at a private workshop were later raised at a public council meeting.
Cllr Stephen Keary has been urged to withdraw a ‘derogatory’ comment which he made about Croom village during the behind-closed-doors meeting.
The comments were made during a briefing for councillors on proposals to build additional social housing in Pallaskenry.
Reference was made to the comment at a subsequent public meeting of the Adare-Rathkeale Municipal District.
At that meeting, Cllr John O’Donoghue asked the former mayor to clarify and withdraw the earlier comment.
