Sinn Féin Inis Eoghain
chairperson, Tony Doherty said his party was the
first to open a permanent office in the peninsula.
He said the move was in recognition of the huge
amount of votes received by Dail candidate Cllr.
Padraig MacLochlainn who narrowly failed to win a
seat in May. |
"We felt we had to
demonstrate clearly to the people of Inishowen that
we are here to stay and that we are more determined
than ever to represent those thousands of people who
put their trust in us. The opening of our office is
a clear signal of our intent," he said.
Mr. Doherty said Eddie Fullerton's memory continued
to influence the party's work on the ground.
"His memory continues to inspire us and I am pleased
to confirm that his widow, Diana, will do us the
honour of officially opening the room.
"From that point on, it will be a resource for the
party members and for local residents groups who can
rent the room for their meetings, free of charge,"
he said.
The opening takes place on September 29th, at
12.30pm with music and a light buffet afterwards in
the An Tuath Nua bar. All welcome. |
