They did. None of us foresaw the proposal the commission came up with because Galway West looked fairly intact.
It had enough numbers without the extra people. It was a big surprise to us. I am not complaining in particular. I happen to live very near the added area so I do not have any complaint but I know the people on the ground are very disappointed that they are being called Galway West. I never saw a county in Ireland with as much county loyalty as Mayo.
