Plan To Speed Up Council Meetings

Meetings of Clare County Council could be about to get a lot shorter.

It follows a vote by elected members to limit the ammount of issues they can raise before each council meeting to just one motion instead of two, in a bid to get though all business in one sitting each month.

Councillors were in favour of the move for a three month trial period as proposed by Killaloe’s Paschal Fitzgerald who rejected suggestions that it would mean less attention for the concerns of Clare residents.
