Personally, I wouldn’t be eager to endure another one until we’re approaching the latter part of this decade.
As always, the Galway constituencies offered their fair share of drama and surprises. Five new TDs have been elected to represent Galway in the upcoming Dáil: Dr. Martin Daly, John Connolly, Louis O’Hara, Albert Dolan, and Pete Roche.
