Row over Oasis’ Gallagher brothers at Mayo Council meeting
January 14th, 2009
Liam & Noel Gallagher, stars of British rock band Oasis, were at the centre of a row at a recent meeting of Mayo County Council.
According to a report in the Mayo News, councillors disagreed about a proposal to honour the brothers, whose mother is from Charlestown, with a Civic reception. Despite the objections, the Council agreed to invite the brothers to an event in the east Mayo town which, according to one councillor, would be “claiming these sons of emigrants back.”
It is not known if Liam & Noel would be interested in such an event.
Seems a bit presumptuous to me; just because someone is part Irish it is assumed that they would want to be ‘claimed back.’
Mayo County Council should GROVEL to get the boys to come over! They’re famous for behaving badly so who knows what they would get up to in the presence of all the local dignitaries!!!
