Limerick chief councillor, príomh chomhairleoir, Catherine Slattery said she has been “disrespected, demeaned, and intimidated” after Limerick mayor John Moran made a comment about her during a council meeting. During a council meeting on Monday, Ms Slattery demanded an apology from Mr Moran for a comment he allegedly made which was not picked up, but muffled, on microphone. Ms Slattery said her family was “being targeted” on social media, although did not specify who made the alleged comments. On Tuesday, Mr Moran held a meeting for this year’s mayoral fund, during which he was pressed several times on the matter. Asked about the complaint made by Ms Slattery, a spokesperson for Limerick City and Council Council said: “Limerick City and County Council does not comment on matters related to the code of conduct.”
