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