Galway West: Former Mayor Cubbard is eliminated
A two-time Mayor of Galway, Mike Cubbard has been eliminated on the seventh count in Galway West.
The Independent Galway City Councillor was overtaken by Labour’s Helen Ogbu following the distribution of Green Party Pauline O’Reilly’s votes.
Cubbard was offered a re-count, because he was 61 votes short of being able to reclaim his campaign costs. But he declined, as 61 was too many votes to make up.
His votes will now be counted and redistributed in the eighth count – they are likely to favour Independents Catherine Connolly and Noel Grealish.
