The spectacle of local government in operation descended into farce at last Monday’s meeting of Mayo County Council, which saw one councillor stand on his feet and continue to talk over the other members as the Cathaoirleach tried to get on with the business of the meeting.

Fianna Fáil councillor Blackie Gavin has called for action to be taken on ensuring that a small townland gets connected to a group water scheme. Cllr Gavin told a meeting of the Water and Sewerage SPC: “The Derrymartin group water scheme has eight houses in it and it’s been waiting for a connection to a proper service for years. I’ve brought this case up on numerous times and I want to see some action taken on this finally. The people who live there are in a desperate state, they are right beside the treatment plant too. I’m asking you to please do something about this, it’s 2011 and it’s not good enough.”
