Ards North Down Council sees tight vote over hosting Good Friday Agreement document

A significant number of Ards and North Down councillors have voted against the borough hosting the original Good Friday Agreement document, which is going on tour around Northern Ireland’s 11 councils.

At the April meeting of the full Ards and North Down Council, out of a chamber of 40 councillors, 18 elected representatives voted in favour of hosting the document, while 15 voted against it.
