The Antigua-Barbuda Reparations Support Commission has congratulated newly appointed Government Senator Angelica O’Donoghue following her elevation to the Upper House of Parliament.

During a meeting held on Monday, Chairman Ambassador Dorbrene O’Marde and members of the commission expressed confidence in O’Donoghue’s ability to serve with distinction in her new national role.

The commission praised the senator for what it described as her longstanding commitment to addressing social and economic issues affecting Antigua and Barbuda.

According to the commission, O’Donoghue has consistently demonstrated passion, advocacy and leadership on matters of national importance and is expected to bring those qualities into Parliament.

The group also said it believes the senator will contribute meaningfully to national development and progressive policymaking as part of the government’s Senate team.

O’Donoghue was among ten government senators sworn in last week as the administration completed the formation of its parliamentary team following the April 30 general election.

Her appointment has been welcomed by several organizations and stakeholders, particularly within advocacy and cultural circles, where she has been active over the years.
