Hybrid council meetings should be viewable by public, says Curran
Tue, Jan 18, 2022
If Galway City Council meetings are going to continue in hybrid format, then they should be streamed so that the public can have access to them.
This is the view of People Before Profit Galway representative, Adrian Curran, who was reacting to the recent decision of city councillors to continue holding their monthly meetings with a mix of in person and online.
However, the public currently cannot attend the meetings in person so as to reduce the numbers of people gathered in one room together. The media is allowed to attend the meeting virtually.
