Causeway Coast and Glens Council to consider Freedom of Borough for NI Prison Service
A special meeting of Causeway Coast and Glens Council is to consider bestowing the Freedom of the Borough on the Northern Ireland Prison Service.
A notice of motion has been proposed by Alderman Aaron Callan which will be debated at the meeting on January 6, 2026.
The motion, seconded by DUP party colleague Alderman Mark Fielding, reads: “That Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council confers the Freedom of the Borough upon the Northern Ireland Prison Service.
"Recognising the immense sacrifice of those prison officers who served in Northern Ireland through its most difficult times, and indeed who continue until the present day to serve this community with great bravery; and under the most trying of circumstances, to uphold the rule of law and democracy in our prisons.
" Furthermore, it remembers and salutes those officers who gave the supreme sacrifice for King and country.”
The meeting will also debate conferring Freedom of the Borough on Olympic rower Hannah Scott.
