A string of tributes were rhymed out at last week as one of Longford County Council's longest serving employees stepped down after 40 years of service.
Patricia Lennon retired last week from her role within the Finance Department of the local authority, sparking a flood of well wishes from inside the chamber.
Cathaoirleach of Longford County Council Cllr Colm Murray said Patricia a vital cog in providing administrative support and guidance to local councillors over the years.
“Patricia has been a staple of our processes here in the council and always there to take a phone call and give us very good advice in keeping us acheck and last year when the new LRA (Local Representation Allowance) came in I think we had her heart broke trying to keep us further acheck.”
Fianna Faíl Cllr Mick Cahill underlined those sentiments, saying the experienced civil servant would he hard replaced.
“You have been absolutely marvellous and really epitomised what local government is about and how it treats its members, always with respect and kept us informed and made sure we had all our documentation in order,” he said.
