Terry O'Flaherty
Terry O'Flaherty is an Irish politician, former member of the Progressive Democrats and a member of Galway City Council since 1999 .
Terry O'Flaherty was elected to the Galway City Council in 1999, taking over the seat of her mother Bridie O'Flaherty , who had been on the Galway City Council for 25 years.
