Festival of lights: Delighted to help launch the “Festival of Lights” as Deputy Mayor last Saturday. This was a very special occasion for the Indian community and it was an honour to be part of it. I wish you all the best in your continued celebrations.

Irish Water: I attended a meeting last Thursday for Public Representatives where questions were answered by the management of Irish Water. A lot of information/answers were provided, however it was very clear this semi state company has been railroaded into existence by the Government and needs more time to sort out its many problems.
