Fine Gael Dep John O’Mahony has called for the newly restructured Galway West constituency to change its name to Galway West-South Mayo. Dep O’Mahony was speaking in last Thursday’s Dáil debate on the restructuring of constituencies around the country and made his case for the renaming of the constituency, even though he admitted that he did not agree with the redrawing of the boundaries for counties in the west and northwest. He told the house: “To leave things as they are is not an option. I do not object to the proposed reduction in the number of deputies. However, I fail to see the logic in the changes to the constituency boundaries in the western and northwestern regions, in particular.” The Fine Gael TD commented that after speaking to a number of people in the area they had raised a concern that Mayo was not even in the title of the new constituency. “I have spoken to people on all sides of the political divide in the south Mayo region who say they are confused and angered by the new electoral boundaries. Many of them have pointed out that south Mayo is not even included in the name of the new Galway West constituency. Other deputies have also contacted the Minister about the naming of the new constituency. I ask him to address this matter and to have the constituency renamed as Galway West-South Mayo.”
