Mayor proved to be a popular individual

MAYOR Frank Godfrey says he’s delighted with the reaction his efforts at the Fleadh received.

He was almost as popular as the gardai, enjoying the odd dance and sing-song with revellers.

‘It was a special week and I was delighted to be involved,’ he stated.

He says he hopes more ‘ quality shops’ can now be secured for West Street and he’d love to see the Central Bar on Peter Street opened for accommodation by next year. ‘It could be a real focal point,’ he added.

He aso suggested music on boats on the Boyne and more use if Laurence’s gate as a concert venue.

‘ The people around Bolton Square were magnificent and put out flowers and bunting. They did a great job.’
