Great Day For Cystic Fibrosis Patients in Ireland.

As a member of the Transport Commitee I was delighted to arrange with my colleague Senator John O’Mahony for this group to present to committee today. This project is a vital piece of infrastructure for development of the north west region and something we will continue to push for.

Representatives of the the N4/N5 Joint Affiliated Chambers who met with Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport Tourism and Sport.

‘Business in the Midlands’ breakfast briefing took place at the Mullingar Park Hotel on the 25th November with over 600 midland businesses in attendance from Mullingar, Athlone and Longford including representatives of the IDA and IBEC. Pictured are event host Robert Troy TD, Olivia O’Leary, MC and guest speaker Michael O’Leary, Chief Executive, Ryanair.

I was delighted to be part of the relaunch of Mullingar town’s dedicated website which was re-launched at an event in the Market House in Mullingar recently. The new website will act as a focal point for anyone visiting the town, as well as businesses or companies who are considering locating to the town .

Mullingar is a wonderful town, with a very strong community spirit, a vibrant music and arts scene, excellent shopping and beautiful lakes. The website was developed to showcase all that is great about Mullingar and to market the town and attract inward investment.

Mullingar.ie was set up by a working group of local business people . To get the very best from this positive initiative, we all need to get behind it and support it. We have to work together to support the work that is going on to support the businesses of the town. Without that support, it simply won’t work.

Well done to the Mullingar Town Team, Mullingar Chamber and the business community of the town.

Lets give our support to the new look, newly relaunched brand , ‘Mullingar.ie’ and show the world how good our town is.

Delighted that Mullingar is retaining it’s purple flag status. Great to be involved in the original application . All the hard work from Mullingar Chamber of Commerce has paid off.
