On Saturday, May 18, the Taoiseach met with members of the public and organisations, such as the national life-saving squad, and also took a seaside stroll with local Councillors Frank Quinlan, Lola O'Sullivan and Senator John Cummins, followed by lunch alfresco with some of the younger generation under a clear blue sky.

Cllr Quinlan shared a video of himself with the youngest Taoiseach in the history of the State and Senator Cummins, while standing on the beach in Tramore. 

The video was a message from Taoiseach Harris saying how "delighted" he was to be in "beautiful Tramore", with his full support behind Senator Cummins, who will be running for a Dáil seat, and Cllr Quinlan who will contest the local elections on Friday, June 7.

"I have loads of energy to put into the role as a councillor, which I think you really need, and I feel if I get the support of Waterford City South constituents I promise to use that energy to the best of my ability," he concluded.
