With the polling booths opening in less than 190 hours’ time, election candidates throughout the region are preparing for a final frantic week of canvassing. A total of 37 candidates will vie for the 18 seats available on Roscommon County Council when the local elections are held on Friday, June 7th next. There are just six female candidates across the three electoral areas (Athlone, Boyle and Roscommon). Meanwhile, in the European Parliament election, also being held on June 7th, a remarkable total of 27 candidates are running in the Midlands-North-West constituency, where they are five seats available. An election campaign that has been relatively low-key up to this point is expected to intensify in its final days. Over the past week or so, Taoiseach Simon Harris and

Tánaiste Micheál Martin have both visited the county. Candidates report that issues raised on the doorsteps include the cost of living, housing, immigration, the health service, and roads. Meanwhile, at last Monday’s monthly meeting of Roscommon County Council, six outgoing councillors who are not seeking re-election were each presented with a painting in recognition of their service. The presentations were made by Shane Tiernan, Chief Executive of Roscommon County Council, and Cllr John Keogh, Cathaoirleach of the Council. The councillors in question are John Cummins (first elected in 1999); Michael Mulligan (first elected in 2004); Orla Leyden (first elected in 2004); Kathleen Shanagher (first elected in 2014); Joe Murphy (co-opted in 2016, elected in 2019); and Donal Kilduff (elected in 2019).
