‘Freezing’ temperatures at Waterford council meeting spark joke over budget
Cllr Damien Geoghegan made the comments at the November meeting of the Dungarvan-Lismore District
A Waterford councillor raised concerns over the “freezing” temperatures at a recent council meeting, sparking a joke over the local authority’s “budgetary process”.
Fine Gael councillor Damien Geoghegan made the comments at the November meeting of the Dungarvan-Lismore District.
Raising the issue under ‘Matters Arising’, Cllr Geoghan said: “I have one little point to make. It’s absolutely freezing in here.
“I know we’re facing a very difficult budgetary process now in the next few weeks and that but it’s crazy to be sitting here and seeing people have coats, jackets and scarves on and all the rest of it.”
“I just want it to be noted,” he concluded.
His light-hearted comments were met with laughter in the council chamber.
In response to Cllr Geoghegan, Honor Dunphy, Senior Executive Officer at Waterford City and County Council, said that his comments were noted.
The meeting was held in the council chamber at the Civic Offices in Dungarvan.
