County councillor says Galway Municipal Districts not working effectively

Galway Bay fm newsroom - A County Councillor is claiming that the system of having municipal districts below the full council is not working effectively.

There are five Municipal District Councils - Loughrea, Athenry/Oranmore, Ballinasloe, Connemara, and Tuam.

Each MDC holds regular meetings in which councillors from that electoral area discuss a wide range of local issues - while the full County Council, comprising all councillors, sits once a month.

Councillor Jimmy McClearn feels there was another example of why this system of local decision making is not working at a meeting of the full council this week.
