Thu, Dec 05, 2024

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. Each of these individuals comes prepared, politically seasoned, and grounded in the realities of the issues their constituencies face.
