TWO leading Fianna Fáil members of Limerick City and County Council are at loggerheads this week over who should take up a council invitation to Calais in northern France. After a recent sojourn to Boston, Limerick’s first citizen Cllr Kevin Sheahan is now expected to make the trip to Calais this month to help foster links in the area of lace production. However, deputy mayor and party colleague Cllr Joe Crowley believes he is more deserving of the trip, which takes place between June 19 and 21. Cllr Crowley commented, “As I am coming towards the end of my term as deputy mayor, it would be nice to have had some trip away.” Mayor Sheahan declined to comment.
