Secretary of Athlone Action Awareness, John Tynan is handing in his letter of intention to the local authority today.

Serbian native Irena Cvetkovic, teacher Sarah Seoige, former Sinn Féin councillor Paul Hogan and Kevin 'Boxer' Moran, who previously served as Minister for the OPW, are also looking to be co-opted into the role.
