""a cowardly attack""

O'Reilly's bar in Salthill faced out towards the choppy waters of Galway Bay and was the scene of a stormy exchange. Independent TD Catherine Connolly described a Fine Gael councillor's accusation as 'a cowardly personal attack'. The councillor accused Connolly of representing a bank in repossession cases despite 'jumping up and down' about housing and homelessness. The accusation referenced Connolly's time as a barrister and prompted a public confrontation. An Áras candidate previously described a claim by the Fine Gael councillor about that period as 'a cowardly attack'. The exchange drew attention to tensions over housing, repossessions and political conduct.
