County councillor says Galway Municipal Districts not working effectively

Galway Bay fm newsroom – A County Councillor is claiming that the system of having municipal districts below the full council is not working effectively.
There are five Municipal District Councils – Loughrea, Athenry/Oranmore, Ballinasloe, Connemara, and Tuam.
Each MDC holds regular meetings in which councillors from that electoral area discuss a wide range of local issues – while the full County Council, comprising all councillors, sits once a month.
Councillor Jimmy McClearn feels there was another example of why this system of local decision making is not working at a meeting of the full council this week.
