The Pettigo branch of the IFA believes it may have set a first on Monday by holding its annual general meeting in the UK. The AGM and voting in the IFA elections took place in Pettigo - but across the bridge in the Northern Ireland end of the village.
The border runs more or less along the course of the River Termon, through the middle of Pettigo
Previous AGMs were held in a pub on the southern side. This one was held in the former Methodist Hall, now known as the Youth Hall. The border runs more or less along the course of the River Termon, through the middle of Pettigo.

Some 14 farmers were present to vote at the meeting, run by branch chairman Kevin Kelly. Afterwards members observed that the venue mightn’t have worked out so well if Brexit had already taken place.
