Cork City Council Meet In Private After Protesters Force Abandonment
Cork City Council have met in private, behind locked doors, after two previous meetings had to be abandoned.
Anti-water charge protesters forced the council to abandon two previous meetings, when they stormed the council chamber and refused to leave.
The council met on Monday night behind locked doors, with security guards on duty. It is understood that some councils raised concerns about holding council meetings in private, but recognised that the safety of those who attend meetings had to be considered.
Councillors will aim to figure out new public access arrangements for the next full council meeting.
