Fine Gael councillors swap Cathaoirleach position mid-term

Fine Gael councillor Peter McVitty has taken over as the Cathoirleach of the Cavan Belturbet Municipal District.

An EGM was held in January during which the chain was handed over by his party colleague Madeline Argue.

Councillor Argue held the position for the first half of the year, with this arrangement made prior to her appointment.

Councillor McVitty will now take over the role for the remainder of the year and promised to carry on the good work started by his colleague.
