In a quiet corner of Limerick’s tightly-knit community, the venerable Society of Abbey Fishermen gathered on a crisp Saturday morning to thoughtfully deliberate on recent shifts in the local governance landscape. Their hallowed halls echoed with the resonance of shared purpose as the society’s esteemed members rallied behind a unanimous decision. With unreserved enthusiasm, they extended their wholehearted endorsement to the actions taken by Alderman Donnellan and Councillers Burke and Whelan.

This trio’s voluntary relinquishment in favor of the incumbent Mayor’s pursuit of a second term resonated deeply with the society. The steadfastness with which they aligned themselves with his leadership reflected not only their confidence but also their profound appreciation for his past endeavours.

Reflecting upon the Mayor’s exemplary accomplishments during his inaugural term, the Society of Abbey Fishermen wholeheartedly reaffirmed their unequivocal support. In a gesture of utmost goodwill, they extended their warmest wishes for his ongoing success. Firmly anchored in their belief that his unwavering dedication and service will invariably contribute to the overall betterment of the local community, they expressed their anticipation for a future characterized by progress, unity, and shared aspirations.

Signed,
Patrick Lyddy
