I do not want to delay this but at the moment, when you fill a local authority form in either county or city, there is a question around area of preference. If you are applying to the county council you can put Galway city down, and if you are applying in the city you can put Galway County Council down. However, it is a rare occasion that this is anything more than a mirage. If the hold-up is Dublin, I think it is time we absolutely knocked down that wall.
