Appointment complied with the rules
DUP MLA Gregory Campbell asked the Minister whether he could confirm the decision by Strabane Council to appoint a temporary replacement for Mr Faithful out in accordance with the appropriate guidelines.
Mr Attwood commented: “Yes, the decision was carried out in accordance with the appropriate guidelines and endorsed by the Local Government Staff Commission which has a related statutory responsibility.”
