Cowen forced to cancel Muff visit
20.05.09
A MUFF sheltered
housing committee were disappointed last week when a
planned visit by Taoiseach Brian Cowen was cancelled
at short notice.
Bad weather forced Mr Cowen to change his plan to
visit Warren View Manor Sheltered Housing - his last
appointment on a whistlestop visit to Donegal of
Friday. Senator Cecilia Keaveney said she too was
very disappointed Mr Cowen could not keep his
appointment in Muff. |
"This visit was
organised very recently and I know a huge amount of
work went into getting everyone notified and
organising refreshments for those who would attend.
Unfortunately, due to the weather conditions
forecasted for landing back in Dublin the Taoiseach
had to alter his plan and return to Dublin via the
scheduled flight out of Derry," said Senator
Keaveney.
"While all schedules are liable to be put under
pressure due to many factors, the very short notice
of this change of plan undoubtedly made it tough for
those in Muff |
 |
to get all those
invited informed of the change of plan easily.
"From my own part, I was hugely disappointed not to
be able to introduce the Taoiseach personally to all
those behind this exceptional project, which is a
great example of teamwork of the voluntary sector
and the State. Undoubtedly, there will be another
day for a celebration as we move towards the
official opening. Meantime, I would again express my
sorrow for the fact that an excellent visit in many
ways to the county could not be fully completed,"
added Senator Keaveney. |
