GREEN Party councillor Sean Hartigan has denied claims he was driving during a council meeting – and said the mayor “muzzled” him.
During last week’s full council meeting, held virtually due to Covid-19 level 5 restrictions, it was noted by many members, including Mayor Michael Collins and Cllr Jerome Scanlan that Hartigan was in his car.
“Ye must be driving home for Christmas,” the Independent Feohanagh councillor quipped, while Mayor Collins said afterwards: “If he was taking the meeting seriously, he wouldn’t have been in his car at the time.”
