Independent Councillor Michael McClafferty has been elected as the new Cathaoirleach of the Glenties Municipal District.
The handover took place on Tuesday following some exchanges regarding which candidate was being put forward by the independent grouping.
A vote between Cllr Michael Choilm Mac Giolla Easbuig and Cllr McClafferty eventually decided that Cllr McClafferty would take over from Cllr Anthony Molloy.
Speaking after the meeting, Cllr McClaffety said: “I’m both honoured and delighted to have been selected as the new Cathaoirleach of Glenties Municipal District. I would like to thank my colleagues for trusting and supporting me. I look forward to the year ahead in my new role and acting on behalf of the constituents of the Glenties Municipal area.”
