It is with great sadness that Monaghan County Council has learned of the death of Councillor Seamus Coyle.
Councillor Coyle was first elected to Monaghan County Council in June 2004 and has served the people of Monaghan and his own Municipal District area of Ballybay/Clones with dedication and distinction and was a valued member of Monaghan County Council. Throughout his 22 years in public office, Councillor Coyle worked tirelessly on behalf of the local community and made a significant contribution to local government and public service. Cllr Coyle served as Cathaoirleach of the County on two occasions during his career and was the current Cathaoirleach of Ballybay/Clones Municipal District.
