A group of 12 ladies from Castlebar ICA Guild have recently returned from a most enjoyable trip to Brussels, which included a trip to the European Parliament as guests of Dana Rosemary Scallon MEP. Dana, together with her Swedish and English counterparts, gave a very informative talk on the structure of the Parliament and the forthcoming changes to the Constitution. It was a most enjoyable evening which was rounded off by a banquet hosted by Dana. The ladies also took a trip to Bruges, which is famous for its lace and chocolates and amazing ancient 15^th century churches. Picture shows 12 ICA members in Brussels. A wonderful time was had by all.

On behalf of Castlebar ICA Guild, Mrs Teresa Melvin, Castlebar ICA President, made a presentation of a Waterford Crystal candle holder to Dana Rosemary Scallon MEP. As Ireland is now a member of the European Parliament for the past 30 years we were honoured to be in Brussels as guests of Dana.

Dana Rosemary Scallon, MEP, thanks Mrs Teresa Melvin, Castlebar ICA President, for the gift.
