FÁILTE ROMHAT
Fáilte romhat chuig mo bhlog nua.Welcome to my new blog.
Even though it's just set up (5th August 2012), I had been meaning to do so since my election as Mayor of Clonakilty. Unfortunately, a lot has happened in the intervening period and time did not permit. I intend to update it with as much information as possible since I became Mayor and on the night of my election, stated that I intended to set this up. So forgive the lateness and that there will be a lot of information on it the first few days.
On 12th June 2012, I had the honour of being elected as Mayor of Clonakilty, my native town, for the first time ever, since I was elected to the Town Council on 11th June 1994 (18 years and a day!)
In Ireland, The Mayors of Towns, Cities and Counties are elected annually - usually in the month of June, by their fellow elected Councillors, and not by the people which is the norm in most other countries throughout the world.
I have been elected by the people of the town on four occasions since June 1994, topping the poll twice and always getting elected in the first couple of counts.
I had been contesting the Mayoral Elections almost continuously since 1999, when I first topped the poll in that years local elections to the Town Council. However, it took until 2012 before I was eventually elected.
Is onóir mór d'éinne bheith tofa mar Méara a bhaile féin.
It is a great personal and political honour to be elected as Mayor of one's town.
During the coming year, I intend to be as active as possible to make Clonakilty a better place for all who live, work and visit our great town, which in 2013, will celebrate it's 400th Birthday.
Please feel free to contact me if you ever have any queries.
Go raibh maith agat,
Cllr. Cionnaith Ó Súilleabháin,
Méara Chloch na gCoillte 2012 - 2013
