Labour candidate Helen Ogbu was eliminated on the 10th but the Galway City East councillor is still due to make history next month when she becomes Mayor of Galway #GalwayWest
Independent Ireland county councillor Seamus Walsh chats about Ogbu’s transfers going mostly to Kyne over Thomas. Interestingly he mentioned the 12 votes that separated Cubbard and Keane, after 7th count - that was close enough for a recount but it wasn’t called #galwaywest
And then there were two . . .
Regardless of their politics, it’s remarkable a small village in Connemara has produced the two contenders for Dáil seat in #GalwayWest Bye-Election. Moycullen will be hopping tonight whatever the outcome.
Comhghairdeas le muintir Maigh Cuilinn!
