We reflect in particular on the families who have lost loved ones over the last twelve months, and we also pay a collective tribute to our many colleagues who continue to show great courage in the front line of our health services.
Christmas is a time for joining with family and friends; This year we are asking people to show solidarity with our front-line workers by observing the health & safety measures by staying safe, and in so doing protecting ourselves and our immediate circle of family and friends.’
The Mayor outlined a brief message for the people of Sligo
- Have a safe, peaceful and enjoyable Christmas
- In a year that has been hugely difficult for our retail trade, support Sligo businesses by shopping local this Christmas
