The Labour Party has taken a second seat on Galway City Council with the election of John McDonagh in City Central.
He and the Social Democrats’ Eibhlín Seoighthe along with Fianna Fáil’s Josie Forde were elected on the 11th count.
Sinn Féin’s Mark Lohan fell short following the distribution of eliminated candidate, Pádraig Lenihan’s (Aontú) votes.
They join Mike Cubbard (Ind), Eddie Hoare (FG) and Frank Fahy (FG) who took the first three seats in this six-seater electoral area.
Counts for City Central and City East have now concluded, with a first count for City West expected shortly.
