The new national president of the Irish Countrywomen's Association appealed for a recruitment drive to the organisation at the weekend. Ms Eva Coyle, from Donegal, was declared elected at the organisation's a.g.m. on Saturday.
A former nurse, she moved to Raphoe, Co Donegal, on getting married. She joined the ICA in 1973.
Speaking on her inauguration, she said she and the executive would be looking at ways members of the association could generate income for themselves and their families.
