Mayoral reception for Clonmel twin town representatives

The Mayor of Clonmel Cllr Richie Molloy was delighted to host a mayoral reception for visitors from the twin towns of Eysines in France , Trofaiach in Austria and Reading in the UK as part of the St Patrick's Day celebrations in Clonmel.

"Twinning was an initiative set up after the second world war to enable the people of Europe to get to know each other as friends and neighbours and essential to realise we are all basically the same human beings no matter where we come from," said the mayor.placeholder image
