Labour Councillor Votes Against Corpo Houses

Sligo Labour Councillor Veronica Cawley voted against the provision of 24 Corpo houses in her local area.

Can anyone elaborate or explain the real reason on why Labour Councillor Veronica Cawley, along with two other Fianna Fail Councillors, voted against the provision of two dozen council houses in her locality? The Corpo meeting was yesterday (Monday, 16th September)and I heard a lot of unconvincing talk on today's local radio why these three councillors voted in this manner. As someone seeking housing myself I'm surprised that a Labour councillor would vote this way. Maybe someone from the local Labour party can shed some light on it?
