A DUP councillor has raised concerns a Co Down artisan food event could be turned into an Oktoberfest style booze-up.
The reservations arose as Lisburn City and Castlereagh District Council this week lifted a bye-law for the Moira Speciality Food Fair to allow the consumption of alcohol for an estimated 10,000 visitors.
The council’s development committee has been told that the popular event, located at the Moira Demesne, is aiming to attract a much wider audience in part by serving a local distillery’s products.
