Mayo people especially in the village of Aughagower will have eagerly checked the international news this morning.
Mark Carney from the Liberal Party in Canada has indeed won the general election and will stay on as Prime Minister after his appointment in March.
Mr Carney has three grandparents from the area and is a first cousin of Pat Carney, father of Tom Carney, who operates Carney’s Quarry in Aughagower.
The Mayo News reported previously that there are plans afoot to issue a formal invitation through the Canadian Embassy in Ireland for the Prime Minister to visit the village.
