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.
The vote was not recorded and neither was the party make-up of the vote, however two members of the DUP and one independent unionist questioned the cost to the council of hosting the document.
