Leader of the Year Awards

It is a real honour to be nominated by Fianna Fail for the annual Liberals and Democrats Local and Regional LeaDeR Awards, organised by the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe.

I am delighted to be short-listed as a finalist in the Local Leader of the year award and look forward to attending the awards ceremony in the Committee of the Regions in Brussels on December 18th 2012

When in Brussels I will also attend a half day seminar on the Europe 2020 strategy which has a list of interesting topics and speakers. It will be great to learn firsthand more about Europe’s growth strategy for the next decade.  Hopefully I can bring back some good ideas and information and put them to good use in Dublin.

Wish me luck! Mary
