Clare mayor to head to China

Clare County Council was told last night that it must deliver on its planned twinning arrangement with the 46m-strong Yunnan province in China.

At the council’s January meeting, Cllr PJ Kelly (FF) said the public will not be happy if the planned delegation to Yunnan comes back empty-handed.

At the meeting, the council took a major step in the unlikely twinning arrangement after councillors approved that Clare mayor John Crowe (FG) will lead a council delegation and make the 16,000km round trip in April or May.
