NEWLY elected councillor Maria Donoghue was blown away by the support she received following her election in Limerick City West.
She said she was “shocked, surprised and honoured” to be elected during the final 12th count.
“Almost 800 people in Limerick City West who did not know me seven weeks ago gave me their number one vote and that was such a win on its own.
