I HAVE to agree with D M Deamer (The Press, May 6th May), John Galvin denies falling asleep.

I have always found John Galvin one of the most honest hard working councillors on the City of York Council and find it hard to believe he would fall asleep during a meeting.

Yes if looking at a computer for a long time he may rest his eyes for a few seconds, but fall asleep no never.

One thing I do know when John is asleep he is still more alert than most City of York Councillors when the are wide awake.
