Mr Doherty said that it had been a ‘privilege’ to do the job of Chief Executive for the past 13 months, and that the role had brought ‘a pleasurable career to a lovely end’.

Looking back in his time in Council, he recalled: “I don’t ever remember anything bad in over thirty years, there was more good than bad,” he said.

He went on: “Causeway Coast and Glens Council has a lot to live up to.

“Coleraine Borough Council has done its business up to tonight in an exemplary manner.”

He went on to pay tribute to the 300 odd staff and appealed to Causeway Coast and Glens councillors to keep their ‘focus’ on the staff.
