In wishing him every success in his new role, Roddy pointed to the vast experience Pheilim has, which he maintained “will be invaluable in the coming two years as we work towards a new CAP Programme and address the challenges posed by the Nature Restoration Law while continuing to grow the organisation.”
Over the last number of years, Pheilim has the outgoing president stated “played an important role in terms of policy and organisational development through a term as national vice-president and as national chair over the last two years, while also holding key roles at county level in Donegal, including County Chair.”
“As president, he will now get the opportunity to lead from the front in what promises to be an exciting time for the INHFA”, added Roddy. In discussing his own two terms as president, Roddy thanked all INHFA members and especially those who have held an officer position for their work and dedication during his four years as president.
Roddy concluded by stating “how honoured he was to have held the role of president and is now looking forward to working with the incoming president and his team over the coming two years.”
