Roscommon LGFA are organising a 5k virtual run for Roscommon in April

A local TD is calling on his regional colleagues to take part in a virtual fundraising run for a local LGFA club.

Independent TD Denis Naughten has urged local TDs and Senators to join him for the Roscommon LGFA fundraising run between the 2nd and 5th of April.

In a tweet this week, he called on fellow independent TD Michael Fitzmaurice, Sinn Fein's Claire Kerrane, Minister Frank Feighan and senators Aisling Dolan and Eugene Murphy to sign up.

So far Deputy Claire Kerrane has answered the call, with the remaining representatives yet to respond to the challenge.
