Commenting on his appointment, Cllr Norrie Ramsay said: “I am happy to have been co-opted by my Party Leader on to Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council as Danny Kinahan’s replacement. I wish Danny all the best in his new role.

“I am looking forward to working with my Ulster Unionist colleagues and fellow councillors in Antrim and Newtownabbey.

“I want to thank Vera McWilliam and Jim Bingham for all their help and assistance in the past and I will continue to work closely with Vera to represent all the people of Ballyclare in the months and years ahead.”
