Work will continue to develop facilities and get extra jobs into Loughrea, that is according to Fine Gael councilor Michael “Moegie” Maher who was re-elected to Galway County Council at the Bailey Allen Hall, NUI Galway earlier this afternoon.
Cllr Maher, who served as Mayor of County Galway from 2011 to 2012, won the second seat for the Loughrea electoral area in the fourth count after receiving 176 transfers to give him 1,951, 145 votes over the quota of 1,806.
Thanking his supporters and those who helped throughout his campaign, Cllr Maher said that he was delighted the people of Loughrea had put their trust in him. He added that he will continue to work with community groups and the whole area to ensure that facilities are developed and that extra jobs are created.
