Cllr John Galvin would get my vote every time.

Following the revelation in Wednesday’s Press (Councillor denies sleeping in planning meeting, May 4) - if he was actually asleep he wasn’t doing any harm compared to the other councillors who cause mischief while awake.

Cllr Galvin reminded me of the three wise monkeys: ‘see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil’. I wish more politicians were as involved as he is in politics.
