CALL FOR MORE CITY COUNCILLORS FOR GALWAY

Date Published: 12-Feb-2008

Galway's increasing population is not getting adequate political representation.That's according to city councillor Donal Lyons who wants at least two more councillors elected to the city council.Councillor Lyons says in comparison to other cities around Ireland, Galway's representation per 7,000 people doesn’t match up.Councillors have been asked to make submissions to the Cities' Electoral Area Boundary Committee about population figures in their areas to ensure adequate local authority representation in the 2009 local elections
