Conamara North is likely to return the same four Galway County Councillors it did in 2019, according to tallies.

Tom Welby (Ind) is on course to top the poll again – the Oughterard man is on 22.8% of the 94% of boxes tallied.

Sitting councillors Eileen Mannion (FG)17.7%; Gerry King (FF) 17.8%; and Seamus Walsh (Ind Ire) 19.4% all polling strongly according to the tallies.

The next best was newcomer, Manus Ó Conaire (Ind) on 10.9%. He polled strongly in his Gaeltacht area around Carna but it was unlikely to be enough to unseat the sitting four.

Next will be Tom Healy (SF) on 7.5%.

The ballots have now been sent to Galway Lawn Tennis Club to be counted.

A first official count is expected later this afternoon.
