Ross Mayor Ed O’Driscoll has been keeping business through the festive season.

He attended the Ross Town Band Christmas Concert December 18. He said: “Delightful afternoon concert by Ross Town Band at the Larrapurz this afternoon. Great turn out and some really lovely seasonal arrangements. Honoured to have been made their president recently, they truly are an important community organisation doing great work. They’re also always on the lookout for new members for both the main band and their training band.”

He then officially opened the new Sense Shop (December 19). He said: “I was delighted to cut the ribbon and be their first customer—bought a rather nice tie that I’ll be wearing soon. Adrian Darkin their Director of Trading came along for the occasion and the new store manager Laura gave me a guided tour.”
