Galway to receive €1million in outdoor recreational funding

Galway is set to receive one million euro in funding under the Outdoor Recreation Fund.

Half of the fund is going toward the upgrade of the Western Way trail.

€200,000 will go toward the Creggs Mountain Walk, with the remainder shared between 'The Walks', Loughrea, and Killarainy Woods in Moycullen.

Local senator Aisling Dolan explains the significance of the funding for the local communities.
