AN event in Letterkenny with Taoiseach, Micheál Martin on Saturday has been called off. A business lunch was due to take place in the Radisson Blu hotel with the Fianna Fáil leader.
President of the Chamber, Kristine Reynolds released a statement this afternoon saying: “It is with regret that the event to be hosted by Letterkenny Chamber with An Taoiseach Micheal Martin will not go ahead as planned after consultation with the Department.
“We are extremely disappointed that we will now not have an opportunity to meet with the Taoiseach in Donegal. Our intention at the event was to emphasise the economic needs of the County and region including Mica redress. We have now missed a perfect opportunity to put the concerns of our members directly to An Taoiseach. We will continue to engage with all political parties and Government for the advancement of Letterkenny and the North West region.”
Mica Action Group announced earlier this week that they would protest outside the hotel to send a strong message to Mr Martin about their frustration with the redress scheme.
