As it stands, members of the public can only attend meetings in public.
A heated debate broke out among Laois councillors over the issue of livestreaming local authority meetings.
Independent rep Aisling Moran raised the issue, and says the public should have the option to watch proceedings online.

The Fianna Fáil rep says reports have shown the cost of streaming live could not be justified:
