Big Thanks to you all, especially my election team who knocked doors, put up
posters and done the million and one small things that ensured the people of the
East Ward are represented by a socialist Republican for the next five years.
To
the people of the East Ward who placed their faith in me, I am continually
humbled by the trust you have. I hope that I can repay it and represent you in a
fitting manner.
Maith agaibh. Chris Mac
