A DUP councillor stepped aside from a council committee meeting after questions were raised about his alleged links to a community group involved in the purchase of a former PSNI base.
At a meeting of Derry City and Strabane Council’s Environment and Regeneration Committee on Wednesday evening questions were raised over any links its chair Keith Kerrigan may have to the Castlederg and District Cultural Association.
Last week the Northern Ireland Policing Board voted to allow the Association to buy the former police station site in Castlederg, Co Tyrone. It was claimed at the council committee meeting that the successful Association has links to the Orange Order.
