Long serving councillor passes away
ONE of Strabane’s longest serving councillors has passed away.
James O’Kane sat as an independent councillor with Strabane District Council since he was first elected back in 1982. In May 2014 he announced his decision to stand down from politics.
Speaking at the time of his retirement Cllr O’Kane said the decision not to stand had been a tough one, but at the age of 81, the right one.

“The years are going on and I felt it was time to leave the way open for younger people,” he said.
“It was a tough decision because a lot of people have been saying if I’m not standing then they are not voting. So it was a very tough decision but with my wife gone, I felt the time was right.”
