What are the local elections actually for?

The Anton Savage Show

You’ve probably seen the signs across every lamppost - yes, local elections are back in full swing… but what are they all about? And, what does a local councillor actually do? Joining Anton on the show now are three first-time candidates from across the country to discuss. They are - Adam O’Ceallaigh, Green Party candidate for Ballinamore, Leitrim, Ali Morris, Soc Dem candidate for Mullingar in Westmeath and Lynda Prendergast, Fianna Fáil candidate for Tallaght South.
