A Roscommon councillor is expressing his dismay and disappointment following a recent meeting with Minister Patrick O' Donovan on the Lough Funshinagh issue.
Donal Kilduff said he he'd been happy to cancel appointments to attend a meeting of the council at short notice last week, after being notified that the Minister would be attending.
The Independent councillor says however that he was dismayed to learn that the Minister was not there to offer any kind of solution to the Funshinagh issue at all.

He says councillors are often now powerless to help people who need it, and he wants to see discussion on some kind of 'common sense ' mechanism which could be invoked in specific circumstances.
