Christina McHugh (editor) wrote: In relation to your recent posting regarding the Roscommon Herald could I just clarify for your readers that while we will vacate our existing offices on St.Patrick Street, Boyle at the end of this year we remain committed to Boyle and will be moving to an alternative office location in the town from January 2017. The Roscommon Herald has been part of the fabric of Boyle life since 1859 and with the support of the entire community will continue to remain a strong, trusted presence in the town delivering a quality product on a weekly basis. All our staff contribute to the economic life of Boyle town and we are proud supporters of a range of community initiatives. I am happy to put the record straight for your readers.
Why Vote on Friday 26th February?
Polling stations open 7am to 10pm
If you believe in having the right to vote, but are unsure as to whether it really will make a difference, should you vote or not?
• Yes - if you want better healthcare, education and childcare, fairer taxation, basic income for all, good recycling facilities, better roads and transport, better local amenities because your government, national and local runs all these services and your vote in tomorrow's General Election will send a message about what sort of Ireland you want and expect.
• Many will vote along party lines 'because we always voted for that party', but now more than ever we should consider who we elect into power ... carefully. Vote for the person or party you believe most capable of delivering the best for your area and the country in general.
• YOUR POWER, YOUR VOTE, USE IT !!
