Update 28/8 9am: The decision was overturned by the full Council, and I am awaiting some more inside information to update the posting. One correction, the letter referred to below came from Fiona Hyslop and not Alasdair Allan.

So the Councillors ducked the decision to close schools, and sought further meetings with the Scottish Executive.
Was this the triumph of electoral self-interest over rational decision making?
Or are there more facts about the decision that came late and affected the domain?
Just what was in the letter from our MSP to the Councillors?
And where are the cuts to be made to pay for this decision?
Answers to all these questions and more to follow.....
It's good to see the the Comhairle saw sense to continue with their plans rather than allow the minister to change well founded intentions with no alternative.
