Housing Minister urged to avoid amalgamation of Galway local authorities

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Local representation in Galway will suffer if the city and county councils are merged.

That's according to Galway West - South Mayo T.D Eamon O Cúiv.

The Fianna Fáil T.D is urging Minister Eoghan Murphy to consider the concerns of the people living in Galway when examining the report of the Expert Advisory Group Review on Local Government arrangements.

Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív says there's no difficulty with the councils sharing services and co-operating with each other.
