An Ennis Labour Councillor has tendered his resignation to party officials in protest at what he describes as ‘the savage health care cuts set to be imposed by government’.
Paul O’Shea says he has been left with little choice but to quit the coalition party.
He says he will only reconsider his position if the €130 million in cost-saving measures are reversed by government.
The cuts have already created a divide among the government parties with two Labour TDs yesterday voicing their anger over the proposals.
