The Spanish Ambassador to Ireland will officially open a Book of Condolence in Sligo today to the victims of the recent terror attacks in Spain.
Cathaoirleach of the County Council Seamus Kilgannon will ask Mr. Jose Maria Rodriguez-Coso to be the first to officially sign it on his visit to Sligo today.
Mr. Rodriguez will be in City Hall just after lunch to award a special honour on behalf of the King of Spain to the Grange and Armada Development Association.

Councillor Kilgannon says it’s a very significant day both for Sligo and for Spain and in light of this he says it would also be a great honour for him to officially open the Book of Condolence:
