Galway Bay fm newsroom – A report on local government arrangements in Galway is to recommend that the City and County Councils be merged into a single greater local authority.
The Galway Local Government Committee was established by then Minister for Local Government Alan Kelly in January 2015.
It was tasked with carrying out a review of local government arrangements in Galway City and County and to make recommendations for improvements.
The review examined the possible impacts of three scenarios – no change, an extension of the city boundary, or a total merger of the two local authorities.
The report, which recommends a merger into a single ‘Greater Galway Authority’, will be officially published tomorrow.
