Cathaoirleach of Longford County Council , Cllr Garry Murtagh, said the exhibition is proof that art “is not the preserve of galleries in capital cities.”

He said, “Edgeworthstown's photographers have found something worth seeing in the ordinary everyday reality of Irish life. I am proud that Longford County Council can give their work the platform it deserves."
