North Down Alliance Councillor Andrew Muir organised the visit and stated “I was delighted to welcome Dominic to Holywood after previously inviting him to come to the town and meet with people to find out more about the work being undertaken to transform Holywood towards a new shared future.”
Commenting on his visit, Deputy Hannigan said “It is excellent to speak to local community groups who, having adopted a co-ordinated approach, have ensured that their local area benefits to the greatest extent in a climate in which funding is often scarce. It is important that community groups share their experiences with similar groups around the country. I’d like to thank Councillor Muir for organizing what was an extremely insightful meeting, and I’m sure that by working together we can ensure similar groups across the country receive the necessary support and recognition in conducting their great work.”
Concluding, Cllr Muir stated: “The meeting was extremely useful with a comprehensive discussion touching upon a range of issues such as forthcoming Centenary Commemorations. We are extremely grateful for the opportunity provided by Deputy Hannigan and look forward to developing a productive relationship with Dominic and the Oireachtas.”
