Mr. Peadar Ó Scanaill:

No, it was earlier. The meeting in December 2017 referred to was a meeting of the full council. It considered a proposal from the legislation and ethics committee which had met quite a few weeks earlier. I am sure it does not usually meet the week before. It is usually meets several weeks before to have the papers ready for the meeting of the full council.

On the issue of unanimity, I am not sure - the registrar would have to tell me - who shouted for and against the proposal.
