Veteran Newmarket Councillor Urges TDs And Senators To Seek Peace In Gaza and Ukraine

A veteran Newmarket-on-Fergus Councillor has made an impassioned plea to Clare’s TDs and senators to continue the fight for peace in Gaza and Ukraine.

Councillor Pat McMahon has proposed that mindful of Shannon Airport’s “critical importance” to the US, the local authority urge the government to pressure the UN and US to end “further aggression” from Israel, and seek “additional diplomatic initiatives” to end Russia’s occupation of Ukraine and Crimea.

The 78 year-old former Mayor of Clare will conclude his 48-year stint as a local representative this June.
