Canning takes the final seat in Loughrea – Connacht Tribune – Galway City Tribune

The last of the Loughrea seats have been filled with the return of Cllr Ivan Canning for Fianna Fáil.

His re-election means that the Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have two seats each with Independent Cllr Declan Kelly taking the fifth.

A member of the great hurling family of Portumna, Cllr Canning hit the back of the net on the sixth count after securing 521 transfers from fellow party candidate Mark Larkin.
