Members will then vote on Cllr McBrearty’s suspension from all Council activities for one month but not exceeding three months.

Cllr McBrearty continues to refuse to leave the meeting and has questioned the legalities of the move.

Previously the Councillors voted to have Cllr McBrearty removed from the meeting but he refused to leave.

Councillors then voted for a ten per cent pay reduction of Cllr McBrearty’s remuneration and expenses due to his refusal to leave the meeting.
