The Deputy Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Alderman Niree McMorris, held a civic reception for Laura Smyth in the Guildhall this week in recognition for her commitment to Community Development in the Irish Street area and her service as a committee member of Irish Street Youth and Community Association for 50 years.
Deputy Mayor McMorris said, “Laura Smyth’s unwavering dedication to the Irish Street community over the past five decades is nothing short of remarkable. Her commitment, compassion, and leadership have helped shape a stronger, more connected neighbourhood. It is a privilege to honour her outstanding service and to recognise the profound impact she has had on generations of residents.”
