Newly co-opted Sinn Fein Councillor Emma McGinley has said she is excited to get stuck in to representing the Moor area of Derry.
Cllr McGinley is replacing outgoing Derry City and Strabane District councillor and community worker Tina Burke.
The 28-year-old said: “I was born and reared in Creggan and I have a real passion for the community and people who live across the entire Moor area.
“I want to make a difference to people’s lives and carry on the hard work of Tina Burke who has been a first-class representative.
“I’m looking forward to working with council colleagues and others for the benefit of everyone in the community."
“This is a new challenge for me. There are huge opportunities ahead of us and I’m excited to get stuck in to deliver more and better housing and more facilities.
“This is an exciting time in politics across our island and I look forward to playing my part on the local council to build a better, fairer and united Ireland for all.”
