Niall McNelis has retained his seat in Galway City West – it looks likely he will be the sole Labour Party member on Galway City Council.
Cllr McNelis, the current mayor of Galway City, was elected on the eighth count, with 1,243 votes.
Transfers from Sinn Féin’s Cathal Ó Conchúir edged him to 1,243, some 61 over the quota.
Social Democrat John Crowley was eliminated, and his 705 votes will now be distributed.
Fianna Fáil is now likely to take two of the remaining three seats, with Peter Keane and John Connolly. Fine Gael’s Clodagh Higgins is also in line for one of the remaining three seats.

It would appear that Sinn Féin has lost all three seats on Galway City Council – with the elimination of Cllr Cathal Ó Conchúir on the seventh count for Galway City West.
While it has yet to be confirmed, due to a recount, all indications are that Cllr Mairéad Farrell has lost her seat in City East, while Cllr Mark Lohan was eliminated in City Central earlier today.
Cllr Ó Conchúir was eliminated with 473 votes, which are now to be redistributed.
Mayor Niall McNelis, following the redistribution of Independent candidate Marian Maloney’s votes, is now just 30 votes short of a quota.
Cllr Peter Keane looks set to take the fourth seat, following the election of Cllr Donal Lyons (Ind) and Pauline O’Reilly (Grn) earlier.
Fine Gael’s Clodagh Higgins is in prime position to take the fifth, while the sixth and final seat will be decided by transfers – with Fianna Fáil’s John Connolly and Fine Gael’s Pearce Flannery still in contention.
The Social Democrats’ John Crowley will likely be eliminated on the next count.
