MAYOR of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Councillor Michaela Boyle, has praised all those who turned for her tea dance organised as part of Thursday’s ‘Creggan Fun Day’.
She said: “I had a wonderful time yesterday at the Creggan Fun Day and hosting my special Mayor’s Tea Dance!
“It really was a great opportunity to celebrate everything that is positive about Creggan, its amazing people & fantastic community spirit!
“Indeed, in the wake of recent negative publicity about the area, this event was a great opportunity to celebrate everything that is positive about Creggan and its fantastic community spirit.
“It also represented a great chance to engage with older members of the community and to bring them together at this challenging time.
“From my past experience, I have always found the people of Creggan to be so wonderfully warm and good-hearted – and who also have such a great sense of humour!
“It was ‘great craic’– and we had a wonderful turnout at a very special event!”
Music at the Mayor’s tea dance was by ‘Legacy’.
