Annual General Meeting 2015
Chuir and Cathaoirleach fáilte roimh Billy Sheehan agus Denis Desmond. ‘Rinne Denis sár obair duinn i rith na mblianta agus anois guímid chuile rath agus sonas air. Táimid fíor buíoch dó. Tá bróga móra le líonadh ag Billy ach táim lán cinnte go ndéanfaidh sé and beart mar is sár dhuine é Billy freisin’ a deir Máire Nic Ámhlaigh.
Billy Sheehan replied and thanked the Branch for the warm welcome he received. He had worked for 35 years with INTO and was delighted to have been appointed General Secretary of RTAI. He felt he was among friends. His objective would be to look after the welfare of our members, to invigorate the web site and to update RTAI hand-book which is now out of date.
Denis thanked Mary for her kind words and he welcomed Billy Sheehan his successor as incoming Secretary of RTAI. He spoke on the following topics:
Restoration of Pensions
Universal Social Charge
Medical Insurance
Comhar Linn
Fair Deal Scheme
We in the Galway Branch always eagerly awaited Denis' reports whether the news he brought was favourable or not. We appreciated the effort he made annually to be with us. Denis is now leaving the organisation financially sound and properly structured and for that we are extremely grateful.
We wish him health and happiness in his retirement.
'Now is the time to enjoy your heart's desire, T
To live the dreams you've waited for,
To awaken the depths beyond your work
And enter into your infinite source.'
Mary Kyne (Hon.Sec.)
