Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council Cllr Patricia Logue recently hosted a reception for former Sinn Fein Councillor Tony Hassan to celebrate the launch of his book “A Memoir of Derry, Bridge Street and Shantallow: From Old Streets to New Houses.”
The book, which is published by Cholmcille Press, is packed with photographs and memories of Derry, with all proceeds being donated to the Foyle Hospice, one of the Mayoral charities.
Said Mayor Logue: “It was a great honour for me to have Tony Hassan in the Mayoral Chamber and to be given an opportunity to get a copy of his book.
“The longest serving Councillor to serve on the Council, Tony Hassan is a stalwart of the local community and has working tirelessly for the people of Shantallow.
“I am delighted that he has put his thoughts and memories into a book that we can all enjoy.
“I want to thank him for his generosity in giving al proceeds of the book to the Foyle Hospice and would encourage everyone to buy it and support this worthy charity.”
