            A Member explained that the intention of the motion was to call for Lough Neagh to be brought into public ownership and not within the ownership of the Council.  She requested that, having discussed it with the Senior Democratic Services Officer, it could be referred to the Council for debate rather than being referred to the Strategic Policy and Resources Committee. 

            Accordingly, it was

            Moved by the Deputy Lord Mayor, Councillor Groogan,

            Seconded by the Chairperson and

      Resolved - That the motion be referred to the Council for debate, with no restrictions on the number of speakers.
