The three remaining seats in City West have been filled by three sitting councillors, completing the lineup for the incoming Galway City Council.

Following the election of John Connolly (FF) on the thirteenth count, and the redistribution of his surplus of 75 on the fourteenth, Níall McNelis (Labour) and Peter Keane (FF) made it across the line without reaching the quota.

Outgoing councillor Niall Murphy (Green Party) failed to hold his seat, coming in seventh overall, leaving the Green Party with no representation on the incoming City Council.

They join poll-topper, Donal Lyons (Ind), who was elected last night (Sunday) on the first count, as well as Clodagh Higgins (FG) and Alan Curran (Soc Dem).
