Limerick City and County Council is advancing transparency by recording and live-streaming meetings. Mayor John Moran initiated this, aiming for full council meetings to be broadcast live and archived online within two business days. Councillors now seek to extend this to every statutory meeting. However, concerns about costs and potential legal issues have led to a pause in the process. Fine Gael councillor John Sheahan worries about recordings fueling defamation suits, while Mayor Moran emphasizes existing legal protections. After a break for discussions, a special meeting is scheduled to finalize costs and coverage, aiming for a compromise that enhances public access without controversy.
