Peter Feeney.

Athenry County Councillor Peter Feeney has been elected Galway County Mayor for the coming year. The Fine Gael representative succeeded Independent Councillor Seán Canney at the Galway County Council AGM on Monday evening.

Mr Feeney has been a Fine Gael councillor for Athenry since 2003, after taking the seat vacated by Ulick Burke.

Speaking yesterday morning after his election win, Cllr Feeney said he was truly honoured to have been entrusted with the position. "We really hit the ground running this week; I'm attending functions that would have been accepted by the previous Mayor and I'll be everywhere from the Aran Islands to Athenry."

Despite undertaking what will undoubtedly be a very demanding job, Cllr Feeney is excited about the year ahead. "I am very much looking forward to getting into it now and I'm actually looking forward to the work. I'm also looking forward to getting out and meeting people," he said.
