Galway City Council invites Residents Associations, community groups and allotment schemes to apply for the Local Amenity Grant Scheme 2026.

Galway City Centre was once again awarded a status of ‘Cleaner than European Norms’ in the most recent Irish Businesses Against Litter (IBAL) results. Galway City Centre is one of only 10 places in Ireland to be given this high standard. The good news comes only a month after Galway Tidy Towns won a Gold Medal for the City Centre area.

Outdoor staff in Galway City Council are bringing the true spirit of Christmas to life this year, raising an incredible €3,220 for three deserving local charities. Staff donated an average of €50 each reaching their grand total in time for Christmas. Their generosity will help spread joy and comfort to those who need it most during the festive season in Galway Autism Partnership, Galway Hospice, and the Paediatric Unit at University Hospital Galway.
