LUCAN-BASED County Councillor Vicki Casserly was “delighted” last Wednesday evening to receive a special invite for herself and her son James (11) to meet the Taoiseach in Government buildings.

Cllr Casserly and James visited the Department of Government last Thursday morning to meet Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Dublin Mid West TD, Tánaiste Frances Fitzgerald who has been a long-time supporter of Team James.

James was there to discuss disability and inclusion and also took the opportunity to detail his fundraising efforts for Barretstown.

Cllr Casserly, who also serves as an ambassador for Barretstown, was very proud to have the opportunity to highlight issues around access and inclusion across the capital.

She told The Echo: “We were so honoured to be invited to speak with the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste.

It is something that James has wanted to do for a long time. It was a wonderful morning and James was thrilled to talk about accessibility, inclusion and the importance of fundraising. It was a proud day for the whole family.”
