A big well done to Nnamdi Ukah who organised a forum on Friday, 13th March 2009 in the Menlo Park Hotel for residents of the three direct provision hostels (The Eglinton Hotel, The Great Western Hostel and Lisbrook House) in Galway to register them to vote in their local elections. The forum was hugely successful and well attended. A big thank you to Triona and Suzanne from the GRSG for helping and attending, also much thanks and gratitude to TD Frank Fahey and local councillors Mary Leahy, Billy Cameron, Tom Costello and representatives from The Igbo Community, the Edo Community and the Africa Centre for attending and for supporting all the residents. A special thanks also to Garda Ronan McNulty for providing the transport for the residents from the Eglinton Hotel.
