Bree reprimanded by Labour Party

Sligo Labour Clr Declan Bree has been severly reprimanded but has escaped disciplinary action, following the outcome of his appearence before a party complaints committee in Dublin yesterday.

A complaint, submitted to the party's head office by the Sligo-Leitrim constituency council against Clr Bree was upheld, but no further action will be taken by the party.

The complaints committee ruled that Clr Bree was wrong in criticising his 2 fellow Sligo Labour councillors - Jim McGarry and Veronica Cawley.

He had called them a disgrace for voting against the Sligo Borough Councillor Traveller Accomadation programme last Februrary.

However, Ocean FM news understands that Clr Bree and his supporters walked out of the complaints hearing while it conducted it's business, angry at legal aspects of it.
