It’s proving increasingly difficult to hold down a full time job and work as a public representative.
That’s according to Councillor Michael Mullins who was speaking at last evening’s county council meeting after the announcement of the resignation of his colleague Joe Tierney.
County Manager Martina Maloney read out a brief letter from the former Fine Gael councillor announcing his decision to resign from the Council.
The 32 year old Ballinasloe councillor cited work committments as the reason why he’s stepping down without completing the full term of five years, due to end in summer of next year.
Fine Gael in East Galway are expected to hold a convention in the next fortnight to find a replacement.
It’s understood that two former county councillors are already interested, Former Mayor of County Galway, Michael Finnerty of Ballinasloe and Michael John Kilgannon from Woodlawn.
