Councillor says cancer affects nearly all families in the country and it doesn't play by any rules

Councillor Fay said he won't "let it lie" until proper mental health services are in place.

It is against the law not to have a rubbish collection arrangement in place for your household.

To this day, neither Cllr Peter McVitty, Cavan County Council nor the many families desperately seeking respite care in Cavan, have received a response.

Basic investigations suggest the flooding is caused by an old stone culvert which may have broken during earlier improvement works.

The members were responding to a proposal made by Councillor Áine Smith, who is also a schoolteacher, to adopt what she called the "Greystones model".

Cllr Smith had served the people of Cavan for 44 years.
