I wish on behalf of the Cathaorleach's representative Clir. Melanie Corrigan Leas
Cathaoirleach and the District Manager Lorraine Gallagher to express our thanks to you and
your colleagues in Dublin City for the courtesy and warm welcome bestowed on our
delegation during our recent visit.
We had a fantastic experience visiting your city, meeting wonderful people and thoroughly
enjoyed participating in the St Patrick's Day Parade. The meetings held were very beneficial
and positive in exploring ideas on possible future collaborations around tourism, enterprise,
culture, education and community. There are many commonalities between our two
communities and we are fully committed to continuing this partnership with Dublin.
On behalf of the Cathaoirleach and the Elected Members of Bray Municipal District I would
like to extend an invitation to you, the Council Members and Officials of Dublin City to visit
Bray this summer. The spectacular international Bray Air Display is scheduled to take
place on the 29th and 30th of July and it would be a honour to have representatives from
Dublin City take part in the festivities over that weekend.
I look forward to hearing from you on the above and perhaps have a discussion over Zoom
on a potential visit of a delegation from Dublin to Bray this summer.
Kind regards
