He will be paid €6,000 for the role and will chair six meetings a year. Cllr Fitzmaurice said he was delighted to be given the position and paid tribute to outgoing Cathaoirleach Larry Brennan:
He says one of his aims for the next year will be the development of an urban forest in Castlerea. The project would include integrated walkways on council-owned land on the outskirts of the town.
