History made at Carrick-on-Suir GAA club as new chairman follows in father's footsteps


Kevin Lanigan was elected as Carrick Swan GAA Club's new chairman at the AGM
AGM
History was made at the Carrick Swan AGM last Friday as Kevin Lanigan was elected the Club's new chairperson.
Kevin follows in the footsteps of his father, Dick Lanigan, the Swan Club's current Life President, who also served as chairperson in the past.
This marks the first time in the Club’s history that a father and son have held the position.
All at the Swan Club extend best wishes to Kevin as he takes on this important role.
The Club also wish to express heartfelt gratitude to Jim Bourke, who stepped down after six years of dedicated service as chairperson.
Jim has been an outstanding leader, and club members sincerely thank him for his commitment and contributions over the years.
The Club also thanks members of the outgoing committee for their hard work throughout 2024.
“To the new committee, we wish you every success in the year ahead. Here’s to a fantastic 2025 for Carrick Swan GAA Club.
“We’d especially like to welcome our newest committee members. Elaine O’Neill, who takes over as club PRO, and Sinead Blackmore, who takes over as Healthy Club Officer. Best of luck to both, in your new roles.
The full executive committee for 2025 can be seen on our website, and on our Facebook page.
