Josephine O'Neill
Preparations are underway for Macra’s 81st AGM, which this year will be hosted by Clare Macra in Ennis - at which Kilkenny woman Josephine O’Neill will officially take the reins as President of the organisation.
The event will take place on Saturday, May 10, in the Woodstock Hotel in Ennis.
This year’s event will be a busy occasion, with not only the usual reports and discussion of motions and recommendations but also the handover to the newly elected presidential team.

The team will consist of Josephine O’Neill as President, Andrew Dunne as Leinster Vice President, William Clancy as Munster Vice president and John Duffy as Northwest Vice President.
Speaking at the recent Macra election count, outgoing President Elaine Houlihan said: “I am delighted to be handing over Macra to Josephine’s safe hands and wish her the very best of luck as she adjusts to her new role”.
Once the business of the day has been completed, attendees and delegates will enjoy a banquet meal before taking to the dance floor.
Evening banquet tickets are priced at €50 and can be purchased from the Macra website by visiting www.macra.ie/agm. For accommodation bookings, contact the hotel directly.
