Fine Gael Councillor Ollie Turner has been elected as Leas Cathaoirleach of County Galway.
It's after Fianna Fail's Albert Dolan was elected Cathaoirleach of County Galway - the youngest ever, at just 25 years old.
Albert's speech received a strong round of applause, while Ollie's drew much laughter from those in attendance at County Hall.
Both were elected under a power pact hammered out by Fine Gael and Fianna Fail in the days before the new council convened.
Leas-Cathaoirleach Councillor Turner spoke to David Nevin afterwards.
