A Northern Ireland council is to switch off its livestreamed debates to the public and media - but claims the move is for “increased transparency”.
The “efficiency” initiative was proposed at Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council’s (LCCC) corporate committee (October 12) with councillors backing the proposal on how democratic debates will now be recorded.
The recommendations were presented in a report by LCCC head of corporate communications, Frances Byrne seeking “increased transparency” and to save the local authority running costs of £6,455 per year.
