Poll shows Noel Grealish may struggle to keep his seat in Galway West

The indications in the poll show all five sitting TDs in the constituency could be set for a battle to hold their seats.

Independent TD Noel Grealish is on course to lose his Dáil seat while the Social Democrats or Greens could make a breakthrough and win a place in Galway West.

Mr Grealish recently faced strong criticism for claiming African asylum seekers were “economic migrants” who came to Ireland to "sponge off the system". He has also supported the Government in a number of key Dáil votes, including opposition confidence motions against ministers.
