10th Count City East: Cheevers elected
Fianna Fáil is in the mix for five seats, according to Alan Cheevers, the party’s first candidate to be elected to Galway City Council. Cheevers, who was just elected on the tenth count, said he was hopeful of two FF seats in City East, where he will be joined by Mike Crowe, the sitting councillor; and a chance of two seats in City West where sitting councillor Peter Keane looks to be safe, and former councillor John Connolly is in a fight for the last seat with Fine Gael. Ollie Crowe – the party’s most popular candidate in terms of first preference votes – will soon be elected in City Central.
https://www.facebook.com/ConnachtTribune/videos/715523258850474/ Mr Cheevers said: “It’s looking good with myself elected and Mike (Crowe) in the East Ward. Ollie (Crowe) in City Central, and Peter (Keane) in City West where John (Connolly) will be fighting for the last seat. Hopefully he’ll get the transfers to get him over the line. It would be great to have five Fianna Fáil city councillors on Galway City Council. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for John (Connolly).” Terry O’Flaherty and Declan McDonnell have filled the first two seats. Claire Hillery, the Green Party candidate has been eliminated, and her votes will now be counted for transfers.
