Committee member Kitty Hughes will give a lecture on ‘The first local elections and councils in County Longford, 1899’ in Longford Library on Wednesday, 10 April at 7.30 pm. The event is part of the commemoration of the 120th anniversary of the establishment of the new local authority system, which included county councils, rural district councils and urban district councils. Kitty has done extensive research into the subject and the lecture promises to be most interesting.
