As we enter Q3 2025, with a new Mayor set to take office, this newsletter highlights key initiatives that staff and Elected Members have been advancing over the past six months, following the adoption of the budget, in support of the city’s businesses and communities.

EUI-IA WATERWAY Project

Welcome to the official information page for the WATERWAY Project, hosted by Galway City Council. This page provides key details about the European Urban Initiative (EUI) Innovative Actions (IA) project, "Water And Tourism Energy Resources for a Winning Active Galway" (WATERWAY).

Public Participation: Identification of Bathing Waters

Local authorities must identify official bathing areas in their area every year so that they can be monitored for safety, water quality and their level of use. To help with this process, Galway City Council are asking people who swim at beaches, lakes and rivers to tell them if they think they should maintain existing designated bathing waters designations or give a new official bathing area designation to areas that are commonly used for swimming, but not identified at the moment.
