GREATER EFFORTS need to be made to promote work undertaken across the Shannon Municipal District.
Such was the view expressed by Cllr Donna McGettigan (SF) when she asked that a dedicated space be given on Clare County Council’s website or social media channels to detail the positive work ongoing in the Shannon MD.
She suggested, “the monthly management report is a great way of seeing works so maybe publish that on social media websites”.
Acting senior executive officer in the Shannon MD, Anne Griffin acknowledged, “effective communications is a key element in delivering important messages and information to our communities and stakeholders within the Municipal District of Shannon. We will continue to strategically and actively use the various channels of communication available to promote the positive work within the MD and build on the strong and open relationships currently in place with the media”.
She recognised the importance of promoting the positives of the towns, villages and settlements within the Shannon MD. “The monthly management report is published on a monthly basis on Clare County Council’s website and this will continue to be vigorously promoted with a direct link now being made available from the Shannon MD section of the website”.
“People are finding it hard to navigate what is going on in Shannon and I want to highlight the positive stuff that is happening in the Shannon MD,” Cllr McGettigan explained. Her motion was seconded by Cllr Gerry Flynn (IND).
