Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

As an Independent Deputy for Galway West, and with Galway being the county picked out to have the highest number of closures, I am trying to avoid despair at the decisions that were made. There are 18 closures in Galway city and county, from the Gaeltacht to east Galway, including Indreabhán, where the criteria do not match the population on the ground, which is way in excess of 500.
