Galway Aquatic Centre Gets New Funding Boost

Galway’s long-awaited aquatic centre is back on track thanks to a massive €3.5 million government boost, helping bridge a €7 million funding gap. With the city council now needing to match that amount — they’ve already secured €10 million in grants and private donations — construction can finally move forward. Approved in June last year, the state-of-the-art 35x25m pool will serve elite swimming and water polo teams, while also featuring a steam room, gym, and coffee dock. After cost overruns stalled progress, this new funding — plus the council’s matching commitment — unlocks the next phase: design and tendering. The dream is finally within reach for Galway’s aquatic community. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
