Eoin Donnelly will now be included for nomination in the elections for Beef Plan Movement’s Galway branch, co-founder of the organisation Eamon Corley has said.
In a brief statement today, Tuesday, January 14, the co-founder said that Galway Beef Plan Committee, together with himself and Hugh Doyle, “have agreed to the inclusion of Donnelly for nomination”.
It was added that Galway BPM committee will reconvene its annual general meeting (AGM) at the Ard Rí Hotel, Tuam, at 8:00pm tomorrow night, Wednesday, January 15.
“We encourage all members to attend the elections, so they can determine the type of representation that Galway has at national level,” Corley’s statement concluded.
