Roscommon County Council CEO, Eugene CumminsRoscommon council CEO rejects group’s call for his resignationThe CEO of Roscommon County Council, Eugene Cummins, has dismissed a call by an environmental group for his resignation, describing it as "a rant". The statement also was also critical of OPW Minister Patrick O'Donovan over comments he made in respect of the High Court action. The Westmeath Independent contacted Mr Cummins to ask if he wished to respond to the statement by the FIE. "I am delighted to have the opportunity to respond to this rant," said Mr Cummins. At the council meeting last month, Mr Cummins said the council had incurred legal costs of more than €250,000 as a result of the High Court action over Lough Funshinagh.
