As Mayor of Waterford City and County Council, I would like to wish Senator Paudie Coffey all the best for future endeavours.

During his illustrious 20 year career, he has served as a member of Waterford County Council and as Deputy Mayor of County Waterford. He has served as a Minister for State and has also been a member of both the Dail and Seanad Eireann.

He has been a constant voice for Waterford and we wish him well.
