Reaction of Mayor Of Clare Cllr Patricia McCarthy to An Taoiseach Bertie Ahern’s announcement he is stepping down on 6 May, after 11 years in the post
“Bertie Ahern’s contribution to Irish politics and society should not be overlooked. His involvement in securing a lasting peace in Northern will form part of his legacy.
