Fine Gael emergency motion appeals to Lord Mayor to retain live animals
Fine Gael has tabled an emergency motion for Monday urging Ms Conroy to reverse her decision. The party acknowledged that as the current occupant of the Mansion House it was Mr Conroy’s prerogative to “cancel the 30 year tradition” of hosting the crib, but it appealed to her to reconsider.
“I think this reflects the broadly held view by all elected members that cancelling the live-crib was a huge mistake and that’s why we have tabled our motion for Monday’s meeting in the hope that some form of compromise can be found,” Fine Gael councillor James Geoghegan said. It is also at the Lord Mayor’s discretion whether she allows the emergency motion to be put to the councillors.
“In our opinion to the breath of public reaction to the decision to cancel the live-animal crib for reasons that have not been fully elaborated upon, do meet the “seriousness” threshold and it is clearly unexpected given the 30-year tradition of hosting the live-animal crib,” Mr Geoghegan said. “This motion cannot be dealt with in any other way because of time constraint between this meeting and when the live animal crib is ordinarily installed.
