First Green Mayor of Galway Elected

category galway | politics / elections | news report author Tuesday June 20, 2006 12:35author by Green Ink Report this post to the editors

Councillor Niall O'Brolchain of the Green Party made history last night by becoming the first Green mayor of Galway city.

Councillor O'Brolchain was expected to become the next mayor as Fine Gael, Labour and the Greens have a mayoral pact designed to ensure the mayorality rotates between the three parties for the life of the Council. Recently however the pact was in danger of breaking due to disagreements over starting times for Council meetings. However on the night Cllr. O'Brolchain was nominated by Cllr. Tom Costello of the Labour Party and seconded by Cllr. John Mulholland of Fine Gael. The new mayor has pledged to put Galway's waterways, amenity areas and public transport at the top of his agenda duriing his term.
Cllr. Billy Cameron of the Labour party was elected as Deputy Mayor.
