Councillor unable to attend meeting due to Covid - but still took part on line

A Donegal councillor was unable to attend a council meeting today because he has Covid-19.

However, Cllr. Michael McBride was still able to participate in this afternoon's meeting of the Letterkenny-Milford Municipal District Council - thanks to an online link-up.

Numerous council meetings are now a hybrid model, allowing councillors to either attend in person, or to connect via the internet.
