I see that European Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection Michael McGrath attended Carrigaline IFA’s 70th anniversary dinner dance over the weekend.

In attendance

The commissioner attended the gig with his mother Márie McGrath and recently elected brother Séamus McGrath.

I’m told former chairs of the IFA branch were honoured on the night.

It’s not every day that a commissioner attends a dinner dance.
