I agree. But at least it would identify the councillors who actually speak on a topic and which ones don't. According to the Connaught Telegraph, you could easily assume that Frank Durcan no longer attends meetings or that he had passed away! What really gets me is the unbalanced reporting and inaccuracies. Papers have a responsibility to report fairly and accurately. This is not happening with the Connaught. The fact that it is Frank Durcan who appears to be "blacked" is irrelevant.The act of not reporting anything at all, said or proposed by a certain elected member of the town council is a disgrace in my opinion and should be highlighted.
