Cllr Cubbard has been nominated to the Assembly by Galway City Council and has served as a councillor in Galway since 2014.
The June Assembly meeting also included two presentations – one from ESB networks and one from Justin Gleeson, Director of the All-Island Research Observatory (AIRO).
The presentation from ESB networks included details on the Network Resilience, Networks For Net Zero & Price Review and works on the development of the Regional Network. Members praised ESB Networks for their response and efforts during Storm Éowyn.

Justin Gleeson provided a demo on how the Councillors could use the Regional Development Monitor (RDM) to generate rich data and statistics at a local, regional or national level and see how the data compares to other parts of the country. The Regional Development Monitor (RDM) is a collaborative project between the three Regional Assemblies in Ireland, AIRO at Maynooth University and spatial infrastructure partners the Tailte Éireann via the GeoHive platform.
