Quirky question for candidates on eve of Galway West By-election

For the past few weeks, you have heard the promises, policies, and passionate opinions of the candidates preparing to contest tomorrow’s by-election in Galway West.

From housing and healthcare to transport and the future of rural communities, each hopeful has made their case to voters across the constituency.
