John Naughten "delighted" with increase in vote as he's elected on first countJohn Naughten said he was "delighted" with the result he received in the Athlone local electoral area of Roscommon after he was elected in the first count with 1,750 votes. The newly re-elected Fine Gael councillor said that it was the second time that he had increased his vote. Mr Naughten believes that road infrastructure and road planning are some of the major issues in his electoral area. "The investment particularly in our rural roads, I think, needs to be increased to keep them up to an acceptable standard."
