3rd Count City West: Three candidates eliminated
Three candidates in Galway City West have been eliminated on the third count.
Patrick Feeney (Ind), Darius Ivan (Ind) and Claire Keegan (Ind) have all been eliminated. Their 16, 33 and 34 votes respectively will now be redistributed.
This follows the redistribution of the Green’s Pauline O’Reilly’s surplus of 122 which has left the Mayor, Cllr Niall McNelis closest to the quota of 1,182 - on 1,062 votes.
Fianna Fáil’s Cllr Peter Keane is next on 940, Fine Gael’s Clodagh Higgins follows on 867, while her party colleague Cllr Pearce Flannery is on 759 votes.
John Connolly (FF) sits between the two Fine Gael candidates on 769 votes - leaving just 10 votes between the two candidates who look set to battle it out for the last of the six seats.
Cllr Donal Lyons (Ind) and Pauline O’Reilly (Grn) were deemed elected to Galway City Council earlier this afternoon.
