Long-serving Cork secretary Frank Murphy to be given a one-year extension

The regular meeting of the Cork County Board heard last night that long-serving secretary Frank Murphy is to be given a one-year extension to his contract.

The meeting was also told that the position of secretary is to be advertised next June. Senior administrator Diarmuid O’Donovan also had his contract extended by a year.

Long-serving treasurer Pearse Murphy informed the meeting he will not seek re-election to that office next year, while development officer Richard Murphy told the meeting that he is stepping down after two years as he is seeking a nomination for vice-chairman at the county convention.
