Bay Bulls Mayor Neil O’Brien opened the December 13 public meeting on Tuesday by apologising for his behaviour during the previous council meeting, held on November 8.
“I’d like to take this opportunity first to apologize first to the people of Bay Bulls, my fellow council members, and town staff, for my deportment and etiquette at the last public meeting, on November the eighth,” said O’Brien. “On that day, I had travelled after rearranging my work schedule so I would be able to participate in the meeting. I never got any sleep, so I took over the counter medication to try and get some rest that day. This caused a complication with a new medication I had just started the previous day before leaving home, which left me very incoherent and unable to participate in the meeting. Moving on, I take full responsibility for my actions and I can assure my fellow councillors, town staff, and the people of Bay Bulls that I will make every effort to ensure that this will never happen again.”
During the November meeting, Deputy Mayor Jason O’ Brien took over the mayor’s chair after O’Brien was unable to continue with the meeting.
