Alliance Party councillor Claire Kemp called on Catney to explain his “rationale”.<\/p>\n
She said many residents had expressed “deep unease at anything honouring Andrew Mountbatten”.<\/p>\n
“Lisburn and Castlereagh has a long and proud history with the Royal family but it was entirely correct for the council to remove the plaque mentioning Andrew Mountbatten,” she added.<\/p>\n
Catney and the SDLP were approached for comment.<\/p>\n
An SDLP spokesman said: “Councillor Catney has already clarified his position to council and has stated that he believes the plaque should be permanently removed.<\/p>\n
“The SDLP has been clear from the outset of the Epstein scandal that tributes to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor are inappropriate, and we were among the first to call for their removal.<\/p>\n
“Our thoughts are with all the victims of Epstein and those associated with him.”<\/p>\n
A spokesperson from Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council said: “The mount has been removed as part of a site tidy up and there are no intentions to replace at this time.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
