Presidential candidates prepare for huskings

The time is fast approaching when Macra members will be invited to elect a new national president for the 2015-2017 term. Vice presidents will also be elected in Munster, the north west, and eastern regions.

In the run-up to election day, April 7, six hustings will take place at which candidates can speak directly to members outlining the details of their campaigns. There will be two hustings per region.

The first will take place on Monday, March 9 in Letrim, at the Landmark Hotel, Carrick-on-Shannon, with the second taking place on Wednesday, March 11, at Vienna Woods Hotel, Glanmire, Cork.
