New President’s Address

Having been a member of the Council for years, I eventually succumbed to temptation and stopped being a passenger and became a driver.  I’m looking forward to the challenge of being President of such a historic and progressive Chamber.  I’d like to thank Graham O’Rourke and all the Presidents over the last decade for everything that they have done for the Chamber to date.

However, each person does the job in their own way and hopefully leaves their own imprint.

My aim for the Chamber is to profile the work that the Chamber does in its facets.  There are so many sub-committees with members giving up their time on a voluntary basis to help the business community and Drogheda as a whole.

Furthermore, I think that instead of doing a good job and telling no one, why not do an even better job and tell everyone!  So a business citizen will always know what the Chamber does and aspires to achieve.

I have very many good friends within the Chamber family whose members have the capacity and thankfully the cheek to tell me if I’m traversing the wrong road.  Together, we can do a great job on behalf of the business citizens of Drogheda and its environs.

The Chamber is even more accessible now because of our new location Chamber House, which is situated directly across from Glanbia on the Dublin Road.  It’s not my Chamber, or the Council’s Chamber, it belongs to the members of which we the Council are but “minders” for the time being, we want and need your advice and support.

My phone is nearly always switched on but in the event of not getting me in, Yvonne and Ailish will seek me out in HQ!

I look forward to meeting with you in the near future.

Personal regards

Eugene Kierans
