A FORMER Galway mayor has criticised Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern for failing to respond to an all-party motion calling for an inquiry into a controversial boat sinking in north Mayo.
The motion called for a public inquiry into the sinking of the Iona Isle, owned by Erris fisherman and Shell to Sea supporter Pat O’Donnell in Broadhaven Bay in June 2009.
Independent Galway City Councillor Catherine Connolly said yesterday she was “very disappointed” at Mr Ahern’s response to the motion passed by Galway City Council last March.
