Galway Bay fm newsroom - Independent Councillor Des Joyce will not contest the local elections in May.
He was co-opted to the council in 2014, replacing Michael Fitzmaurice who was elected as a T.D.
Due to work and family commitments, he has decided not to run in the next local election.
Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice says he is now endorsing well-known Williamstown businessman, Declan Geraghty to run instead.
