#OnThisDay 105 years ago, Donal Óg O'Callaghan was elected Lord Mayor of Cork. He was Cork's third Lord Mayor of the fateful year 1920, following Tomás MacCurtain and Terence MacSwiney.

Excited to hear Prof Colin Copus @ucc.ie on Wednesday. A former councillor himself, he asks why anyone would consider the role. He also asserts that councillors need to be given the tools to do their job properly. Plus, local government reform, ampersand councils and lapel pins! Join us at #CLRG25.

10 years ago today, I had an article in the Echo about Mary Robinson and her legacy as President of Ireland. Good luck to Catherine Connolly as she writes the next chapter.
