Monthly Council Meeting
The monthly council meeting took place on Monday. The agenda was surprisingly light. So light in fact that we managed to finish the meeting by half past four. Generally speaking, if a meeting looks like finishing early then Councillors start raising lots of additional items on Any Other Business. Not this month, so we concluded early.
We had been expecting to debate the issue of additional social housing in Bettystown, but the item was removed from the agenda at the last minute. We’ve been told that it was just a procedural thing, and that a report on the matter will be put before the councillors within the next ten days.
Since I was in Navan anyway I used the time bonus to see the Enforcement officer about a few issues in relation to estates in the East Meath area. Although everyone is one email these days it does no harm to drop in to the officials for a face-to-face chat. I managed to get a few things sorted and was on my way home by six.
I spent the rest of the week catching up with paperwork and office stuff and even managed to get out to a bookshop for half an hour!
