Galway West 5th Count: Cubbard vows to fight another day
Mike Cubbard (Ind) has vowed he will contest the next general election, as he bows out of the 2020 race in Galway West on the fifth count. The current Mayor of Galway, Cllr Cubbard said that aged 34, he still has a political future in national politics. The Westside-based politician garnered 2,676 first preferences, and finished with 2,907 and these votes will now be redistributed. In the race to be first elected, Éamon Ó Cuív (FF) is just three votes ahead of Mairéad Farrell (SF) (8,893 versus 8,904) but both are shy of the 10,057 quota. Noel Grealish is on 8,616, with Catherine Connolly (Ind) in fourth place 48 votes ahead of Hildegarde Naughton (FG) in the five-seater.
