Galway City marked National ‘Make Way Day 2025’ (Friday 26 September) with a City Hall showcasing of the Access for All film 'The Long Way Round’. Funded by the Local Economic and Community Plan (LECP) fund and overseen by Galway City Partnership and Galway City Community Network, ‘The Long Way Round’ documents the journeys of three Galwegians with lived experience of disability as they navigate their way around the city.

Galway City Council has welcomed the announcement by Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration, Jim O’Callaghan, of the newly appointed members of the Galway City Local Community Safety Partnership (LCSP). This new initiative replaces the Joint Policing Committee and brings together residents, community groups, public services, and elected representatives to work collaboratively on local safety issues.

From Monday 6th October Galway City Council is accepting online applications for the Community Action, Inclusion, Regeneration, Development & Environment (CAIRDE) Grant 2026.
This grant offers financial support for community, voluntary, sporting, social enterprise and business association groups to deliver projects that enhance local communities and improve quality of life.
