Commissioners Comments Subject to Investigation

Ramsey Commissioners Town Hall

Comments made by a Ramsey Commissioner on social media regarding the death of Charlie Kirk are now subject to an investigation.

Elizabeth Shimmin said on Facebook ‘what is wrong with people’ and that Mr Kirk should ‘burn in hell’ in response to a tribute posted on the site.

Vice-Chair of the commissioners Sandra Cottam-Shea said the investigation now takes ‘precedence’ and there won’t be any further public discussion.

She added that the local authority has ‘no mechanism’ to remove Ms Shimmin from her post and is a matter for her to ‘reconcile’ with her actions.
