Biography
Conneely was elected to Galway Corporation in 2002 and proved a divisive figure, frequently at the centre of contentious and personal attacks on city officials, that caused council meetings to be prolonged for hours or end in impasse. His reputation led to his being dubbed the maverick mayor upon his election in 2008.
While Mayor, he oversaw the city's successful hosting of the 2009 Volvo Ocean Race, which boosted revenue for the city despite the economic downturn. He was succeeded as mayor by Declan McDonnell.
