    Galway will have an additional three local councillors at the 2014 elections. This is because of population changes in the recent Census.
    Plenty of scope out there for new candidates to make an appearance and push for a mandate based on local issues.
    Considering you can get elected for ~1000 votes, it's worth a try. You'll get a payment of €16,724 plus numerous expenses, your mug in the paper and endless cups of tea.

    I nominate me, if you vote for me I'll fix that pothole you hate and pressure the guards to keep the riffraff off the street and stuff.

    Vote for me. I might not keep every* promise I make, but I'm very friendly and love kissing hands and shaking babies.


    *the word 'every' can often be confused with the word 'any' in this context.

    I might be looking for work next year - this could be an opportunity to branch out into a different direction.

    Any guess on how the electoral boundaries / seats will be split?

    Vote for me, I won't break any promises because I won't make any promises, except not to hound the local hacks & photographers.

    No good to us telling us when thy're supposed to be here (especially with BE going on strike this weekend), we want a round the clock bus service to our doors and somebody to hold our hands when looking for stuff so we don'#t have to think!

    Vote for me. I'll decide on things when there's a clear conflict of interest, destroy your local services, some relative of mine was on the council, and I'll spend most days refusing to turn up due to some perceived slight that happened 6 months ago.
    Well it works for everyone else...

    Vote for me.
    After a while there will be a fire in the council building that we'll blame on the hippies and I will be promoted to dictator.
    Then we invade annex NI for "lebensraum".
