Please allow me to introduce myself to you. My name is Pat Hynes and I am a native of Kylegarriff, Kilnadeema, Loughrea. I am honoured to be the elected Mayor of Loughrea for the coming year, 2004-2005. I am an Independent, Non-Party Public Representative.

In 1979 I was elected to Loughrea Town Council. In 1999 I was elected to Galway County Council. Since I entered political life I have continued to do my very best for our people, as a member of both Local Authorities and on the various Groups and Committees, on which I am privileged to serve.
