Callaghan

In the 1970s, Lord Lipsey served as a special adviser to Labour minister and diarist Anthony Crosland and on the staff at 10 Downing Street under Prime Minister Jim Callaghan, later Lord Callaghan.

"I love the simplicity of disco drum beats," says O'Callaghan, who's inspired by everyone from Chic to LCD Soundsystem.

Council leader Gavin Callaghan said he took the action against Westwick "after I was made aware of social media posts made... before he was elected in 2024".

Callaghan said in a statement: "Whilst I accept that Ben was a young man when he posted these comments and that he has changed his views on a number of issues, I do not believe it is right for him to represent the Labour Party on the council at this time."

"Gun violence is very rare in Ireland, and I am determined that will remain the case," said Jim O'Callaghan.
