An Alliance councillor whose original motion sparked controversy over its subject s history as a slave owner has called for it to be withdrawn ahead of tonight s full council meeting.
An amendment to Alderman Yvonne Boyle s proposal at last month s Causeway Coast and Glens Leisure and Development Committee meant the council committed to explore the establishment of a heritage trail to Hercules Mulligan.
Mulligan, thought to have been born in Coleraine, was one of the American founding fathers and his character featured in a recent Broadway musical, Hamilton, on the subject.
