With grateful thanks to the #Volunteers who helped out in the community after #StormÉowyn during the past couple of weeks. They assisted with various taskings such as checking in on vulnerable persons and providing bottled water to people and community hubs.

It is with sadness that we have heard of the death of Conal 'Connie' O Ferrell. Connie was a dedicated and valued member of Longford Civil Defence for many years. We send our condolences to his wife Rosie and his family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
