We’re looking ahead to a special celebration in West Clare, marking 100 years of County Councillors in the area, dating back to 1926.
The event will also recognise the contribution of the former Town Commissioners and Town Councillors in Kilrush and Kilkee, whose roles were an important part of local public life.
The celebration will take place in Cooney’s Quilty Tavern, a venue with a long history of political and social gatherings in West Clare, particularly during the 1970s, 80s and early 90s.
Billy Kelleher MEP will make presentations to current councillors and family members of councillors who have served over the past century.
To discuss the event and the importance of recognising a century of local government, Secretary of West Clare Fianna Fáil and Chair of Ógra Fianna Fáil, Colm Morrissey, and Chair of Clare Fianna Fáil, Mary Crawford, joined Alan Morrissey on Tuesday’s Morning Focus.
