The People Before Profit councillor who described the past seven years as a "great privilege" will resign on the 9th of June.
A process is underway to decide a candidate for co-option and is expected to be completed in the coming weeks.
Speaking to RedFM News, Councillor Ryan outlined her reasons for resigning:
“Unfortunately the past few years multiple surgeries that required a significant recovery period, a difficult pregnancy and now the realities of parenting a young baby have all presented a real challenge to my ability to fulfil that role in the way that I would wish to. Looking forward, I don’t see that changing in the short term, so I have taken the regrettable decision to resign my seat."
Today I am announcing my resignation of my Council seat effective June 9th. It’s been an absolute privilege. I’ll still be around as an activist & socialist campaigner with PBP/Sol, just not from the council chamber. Thank you all for your support & help over the last 7 years. pic.twitter.com/LrKzr1jrE4
