Jimmy Gahan is one of Enniscorthy’s best known citizens and he has been honoured by County Wexford Chamber “for the many years of dedicated service he has provided to Enniscorthy.”

Jimmy joined the former Enniscorthy Chamber as a Development Officer in 2018 and helped guide the Enniscorthy District through its integration with County Wexford Chamber.

Family, friends, and colleagues joined the Chamber’s Enniscorthy Chapter meeting in GreenTech HQ recently to wish Jimmy well on his retirement.

Paula Roche, CEO of County Wexford Chamber, said; “Jimmy’s dedication to the town’s growth and his willingness to support any cause, big or small, never went unnoticed. His contributions have made a lasting impact on the community. To recognise his commitment, we were honoured to present him with a plaque, a small token of appreciation for the significant role he’s played in Enniscorthy’s development.”

Jimmy’s exceptional dedication to helping the businesses in and around Enniscorthy throughout the years was deeply admired and appreciated by everyone present.

On a personal note, I would like to wish Jimmy Gahan all the best on his retirement from chamber duties. Many moons ago, when a pen and paper were the luxuries in journalism, Jimmy was my editor for a time at the defunct Enniscorthy Echo newspaper at Mill Park Road premises and we have remained lifelong friends!
