Pastoral Council elections complete

The elections to the first Parish Pastoral Council have been completed.



Following the counting of votes in the Parish Centre last night, elected are Maurice O'Mahoney, Gavin Coyne, Howard Berney, Pat Goulding, Evelyn McKenzie-Smith and Charlie Talbot.

Frs Murphy and O'Sullivan are ex-officio members of the Council, and six other members will be appointed.

There were 355 ballot papers cast in the election, which took place in Kilcullen and Gormanstown following masses over the weekend and involved 21 candidates.



The count was supervised by Eithne Coughlan, County Registrar, pictured above second from left with Rose McMahon, John Martin, Maureen O'Toole and Matt Doyle.

The other pictures below from the count illustrate in their own way the local interest in the outcome.
