Mr Naughton,
During your recent election campaign you called on my partner, Andrew Mullaney and myself at our home at Cloontrask, Castlerea. During the conversation you offered to set up a visit to the Dail for the Active retirement group in Patrick Street, Castlerea. As I am Secretary to the above I wondered if this was still on the cards. We would also appreciate your help in being able to book a visit to the Presidents Residence.
I look forward to hearing from you aqt your earliest convenience,
Kindly regards,
Maureen Gibbs
