category sligo | politics / elections | news report author Wednesday June 23, 2004 16:25author by allen - lp Report this post to the editors

Councillor Declan Bree the longest-serving member of Sligo Corporation, having been elected back in 1974 aged 22, then a member of the Connolly Youth Movement, was unanimously elected mayor of City yesterday.

He is the first socialist councillor elected Mayor since Tommy Higgins 20 years ago, who was in the council chamber to witness Councillor Bree take the Mayoral Chain from SF Councillor Sean MacManus, the outgoing mayor.
