With just a few hours left before voting begins across Ireland to elect our new Government, we’ve been interviewing Candidates Running in Galway West over the past two weeks to give a sense of profile outside the debates. Not all candidates running were available for interview from our pool – The interviews are presented in the order they were conducted in.

Mairead Farrell – Sinn Féin

Mike Cubbard – Independent

Pauline O’Reilly – Green Party

Helen Ogbu – Labour

Eibhlín Seoighthe – Social Democrats

For a deeper dive on Election News Around the Country we’ve been airing the excellent Shnug Podcast (Tap Here) on Saturdays 5pm – Ep3 is a great starting point for this insightful and explorative series on General Election 2024.
