Councillor Mike Crowe has described his speedy return to Galway City Council as "bit of a surprise" given he only lost his seat six months ago.
He won a recent Fianna Fail selection convention to fill the seat left vacant after John Connolly was elected as a TD for Galway West.
Previously, Councillor Crowe served several terms in the City Central Ward - but his ascension to John Connolly's seat puts him in Galway City West.
His co-option was proposed by Councillor Alan Cheevers at City Hall this afternoon, and seconded by Councillor Declan McDonnell.
Councillor Crowe spoke to David Nevin afterwards.
