We were delighted to welcome the Cathaoirleach of Westmeath County Council, Mr. John Dolan, to Kilcleagh N.S. on Tuesday May 7th. He gave us a brief talk on local government and the European Parliament and outlined the responsibilities of people elected to work in those positions. He also reminded us of the importance of exercising our democratic right to vote for our representatives once we reached 18 years of age.
