Concerns that a planned new council headquarters building will lead to job losses in a Co Down town have been dismissed as ‘fake news’.
The issue of Newry, Mourne and Down District Council's (NMDDC) planned £20m civic centre in Newry was raised in chambers this week.
The local authority has two headquarters, one in Downshire civic centre in Downpatrick and the other on Monaghan Row, Newry with plans for the Newry site to be transferred to Daisy Hill hospital ahead of a new city centre build.
