A council discussion on Coleraine's Riverside Theatre turned ugly with accusations of misogyny directed towards a DUP councillor.
Bann DEA councillor Adrian McQuillan suggested to the chairman of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council's leisure and development committee ‘there’s a foreign station coming in there chairman, mute her’, when Alliance Alderman Yvonne Boyle attempted to speak at the same time as him.
Glens councillor Cara McShane described his comments as ‘absolutely abhorrent, disgusting and repulsive’.
