ICA news: President praises Clare ladies on remarkable years of service

National president Liz Wall was in Ennis recently to mark Clare Federation’s 70th birthday.

Ms Wall took the opportunity to present certificates of long membership to more than 150 members. Mary Meehan had racked up the most years — 67 — followed closely by Bridie Quinn, an ICA member for 65 years. Both ladies are members of Sixmilebridge Guild, which also celebrates its 70th birthday this year.

Meanwhile, nine members of Tradaree Guild received certificates — Celine Quin has over 45 years service. Her long-serving ICA colleagues are Bridie O’Looney, Maureen Higgins, Bridget Collins, Maureen Meehan, Joan Dunne, Pat McDonnell, Marion Woods and Maura Kennedy.
