The motion, proposed by former DUP councillor Ruth Patterson, was passed by 23 votes in favour to 12 against.

Ms Patterson’s motion called on councillors to note the “serious public concern amongst our constituents in relation to financial squander” and proposed that Belfast City Council writes to Secretary of State James Brokenshire to request a public inquiry.
