On UN Day itself, the Lord Mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council welcomed Ms Carol Conlin (left) and Mrs Maureen Maguire (right), local members of the United Nations Association for Northern Ireland. Councillor Savage was photographed with the UNA-NI representatives outside the Palace building which was one of over twenty civic buildings throughout Northern Ireland lit up in UN Blue for UN Day and for the start of the 75th anniversary year of the United Nations. UNA-NI members are grateful to the Lord Mayor for recognising this special anniversary.
Following the photo call, congratulations were extended by the Lord Mayor in the following quotation:
“As a Council we are delighted to recognise the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations by lighting up our Civic Buildings across the Borough. As we find ourselves manoeuvring through these difficult and unprecedented times, it seems a salient moment to mark the UN’s commitment to global peace and co-operation. Congratulations on attaining this significant milestone."
