Mayor Harvey at Golden Bridges, Boston

Mayor Cora Harvey, the first Sinn Féin Mayor of County Donegal in 80 years, the first woman mayor of the county since the reorganisation of local government in 2000, and the first woman speaker at a Golden Bridges lucheon went down a treat when she addressed our annual event in the marvellous Marriott Copley Place Hotel earlier today.

Interestingly, among the statistics from her native county was that almost one third of the county's population is under 25 — quite a selling point to investors.

She was joined by Cllr Dessie Larkin of Fianna Fáil and County Manager Seamus Neely as well as Henry McGarvey, ceo of Pramerica Ireland who was joined by his manager John Fox who came up from the New Jersey headquarters of parent company Prudential to applaud Henry for being among our honorees today.
