Date Published: 26-Jun-2012

The new Mayor of the city has placed job creation and a quicker turnaround of local authority houses as her top priorities for her year in office

This is Terry O'Flaherty's second term as first citizen, sharing this accolade with her late mother Bridie who also served in the office twice

Under the pact between the independents, Fianna Fail and Fine Gael she was nominated by Cllr Ollie Crowe and seconded by Declan McDonnell

She took the chain from outgoing Mayor Hildegarde Naughton in front of a packed gallery which housed family and friends and political colleagues such as former minister Bobby Molloy and independent TD Noel Grealish
