“Seven doesn’t go into six” is Independent Councillor Harry Walsh’s clear observation on next year’s local elections. With the redrawing of the boundaries for next year’s local elections, the Ballinrobe area came out of it looking like they could be the big looser in the terms of representation. With the purging of the Ballinrobe electoral area from the map and it being subsumed into the newly redrawn Claremorris area, it brings an end to ten years as single electoral entity. “We do feel hard done by and the area as a whole should feel hard done by because we have lost a lot of our natural hinterland in this redrawing and we are now being consumed into a very large geographical area in the county. My main concern is of course for the Ballinrobe area as a whole, but my home area of around Shrule and Kilmaine went for seven or eight years without a councillor before and it’s important that an area like that has representation.”
